My post on Apache Friends forum is getting no answers despite one of the Apache Friends experts claiming the solution is in this thread, where there is some talk of Skype being an issue, however I have never installed Skype on this system Should I uninstall everything & start over, hoping that disabling UAC before installing XAMPP is the fix, or switch to a 32 bit laptop, which I really hate to do, as desktop is where all my applications reside. I have since disabled UAC & rebooted but XAMPP but I still get, run this program only from your XAMPP root directory I did not disable User Access Control before I installed XAMPP and I proceeded with all the setup of a PHP development environment, and installed WordPress, not noticing that I had an error that seems to effect 64 bit systems + Windows NT, 2000, 2003, XP (RECOMMENDED), VISTA In addition it appears that the readme for XAMPP 1.7.4 says

Googling that particular error leads to an Apache Friends forum thread where the users all have in common 64 bit systems. The error in XAMPP control panel says XAMPP Component Status Check failure, Current directory c:\xampp, run this program only from your XAMPP root directory, despite the fact that I am running XAMPP from C:\xampp I have a 64 bit Windows box.And indeed another 64 bit user has posted in the comments on that tute, the same error


Long story short I was following the tutorial for Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver, following the instructions for XAMPP for windows
