This happened to me yesterday after a crash. It was saying Tomcat was not found, and the buttons were disabled. First thing I checked was if Tomcat was in the Xampp directory and could be started manually. It could, so I started looking for configuration errors. I clicked the config button at the top, then service and port settings, and then the Tomcat tab. I saw immediately that Xampp was looking for Tomcat 7, and that was the problem. I had updated to 8 a long time ago and I guess when the system crashed, Xampp reverted to the default config. I changed that to 8, and restarted Xampp. Problem solved, but the buttons were still disabled. I then discovered that in the xampp-control.ini file, under the ServiceNames section, it said Tomcat=Tomcat7. I changed that to Tomcat8 and restarted Xampp, and the buttons were working again. I would imagine it would be a similar procedure for any of the other modules not being detected. I hope this helps someone.

first check your xampp folder where apche/bin and mysql/bin is available or not.if it is not available then search it into your drive and put the xampp folder as it is.And last restart your xampp control panel and start the apache and mysql server.

Try installing as admin and disable your anti virus when installing, you can also disable UAC as well. And always run as Admin when launching by right clicking the .exe and go properties and set "Run as Administrator"
