Installing xampp

I tried to install xampp (I downloaded xampp-win32-upgrade-1.7.2-1.7.3). After I finish extracting it gives fatal error :

failed opening required : G:\xampp\install\xampp_xampp_php' in G:\xampp\setup_xampp.bat on line 33

Did I download wrong archive. I'm installing on windows 7 64 bit.I don't have any preinstalled xampp.

This error comes when the Downloaded archive is damaged. Please follow some steps it may help you:

  • Just delete temporary files in you System using Run Command

    • RUN-> TEMP
    • RUN-> %TEMP%
  • Download new archive (32 bit version is supported in 64 bit).
  • Restart your PC
  • Try to install if problem persists check your PC's antivirus

I installed it on Windows 10 and it installs quite easily as long as you have the correct version. I only chose Apache and MariaDB during installation. As I am using an earlier version of MySQL and using IIS, I will have to modify the MySQL and Apache to work on my computer. Although the installation web site says MariaDB, I still see MySQL. Perhaps I need to upgrade to MariaDB.

Here you can find more details with some screen shots: http://hodentek.blogspot.com/2015/11/installing-xampp-on-computer-running.html

You can download xampp from Apache-friends. In there select your operating system such as windows / Linux etc.. Then in the download section click on xampp. Then you will see the link called "installer" click on it. and your download will start and it.

Download and install the software to your computer. If the application control start automatically it is fine. If not you can go to the folder where the xampp is downloaded and then check for xampp control click on it and open it.

Then what you have to do is starting Apache to access to our localhost. So you click on the start button right in front of Apache. And that you will see it starts running.

You can also try a new WAMP Stack called AMPPS by Softaculous.

Uhm just out of curiosity, if you don't have xampp installed, why did you get the upgrade version instead of the final one? Get the basic package instead

It's because you downloaded the 32 bit version, hence the 'win32' in the name.
