Hello and thanks for having this resource available.
Once upon a time, I did have an XAMPP installation on this machine but when I stopped doing web development, I removed it.
Now I'm starting anew and need a local testing ground. I have to assume there's some sort of vestige left behind because I simply can't the the installer to begin.
Here are my details:
XAMPP version
xampp-win32-5.6.3-0-VC11-installer.exe
operating system version
Windows 7 Professional Version 6.1 (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)
XAMPP installation path
H:\xampp\
Information
Actions: Clicked on .exe file
Expected reactions: I expected the installer to run
Received reactions: Busy icon spins but not other action; xampp-win32-5.6.3-0-VC11-installer.exe *32 shows in Processes
also ...\xampp (Not Responding) in Applications
After 2 hours, I tried to stop the stalled installer but am unable to.
Tried using End Task, Close Process and Close Process Tr4ee
Full error messages
No error messages; no action at all other than the spinning icon
I created a DMP file but can't find any way to read it and I don't want to
post it without knowing what's in it.
XAMPP control panel log
There is no cpanel or log.
I have to shut down the computer to get rid of the stalled installer. Sometimes even that doesn't work and I have to go in with the command prompt.
I am able to install both AMPPS and WAMP but I don't like them; they're not as much like my linux server. So I'm hoping to be able to get XAMPPS going.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
