XAMPP 2 instances on one server

I want to run 2 XAMPP instances on a Windows 2016 server. 1 XAMPP version 3.2.4 is already running: enter image description here

Now version 3.2.4 has default PHP7x running and I need PHP5 also for a website. I tried to run PHP5 on the same instance. And for this I tried to follow: Is there way to use two PHP versions in XAMPP?.

Unfortunately I could not make it work. So I went for another approach and that is installing another version of XAMPP on the same server. I went for version 3.2.2. I changed the ports like stated in this url: How to change XAMPP apache server port? But still doesnt work. Seems that my apache is hanging. Here is a screenshot: enter image description here

Can anyone help me to get the 3.2.2 running? Thanks!

Fixed it. This is how to fix it: Change Apache service name. And then, while Apache is not running, click on the red cross (in the screenshot you see a green check mark but this was a red cross first) this will install Apache. Then run localhost en go to http://localhost:8080 and now its working. Two XAMPPs running at the same time.

Screenshot of chaning the Apache service name (you can go here by clicking on the Config button which you see also in the screenshot at the upper right corner):

In services you can see that there are two Apache running now from two XAMPP installations: enter image description here
