I moved the xampp directory to a different place and run setup_xampp.bat. That solved the problem for me.

Yeah, I moved my xampp folder onto a fresh PC and ran the installation over the top of it. Got the same error as the original poster. For some reason setup_xampp.bat didn't help until I renamed the directory and ran the .BAT file again. I also found I had to edit my Apache httpd.conf because some of the folder paths had gotten corrupted (like C:C:/xampp/... for some reason). – Simon East Mar 25 '11 at 10:51

I installed from the ZIP file instead of the Windows Installer, and this resolved my issue. Appears to be a known bug with the Installer on Win 7 64 bit.

I had the same problem on two different computers (XP and Win 7 32 bit), with varying error numbers.

On my Windows XP the problem was due to something else listening on port 80. On my Win 7, I renamed the folder to something else and ran setup_xampp.bat and it solved it.

Renaming the folder back to the original name (C:\XAMPP) and running the setup brought the problem back, so I ended up leaving it C:\XAMPP2.

Another solution is to put the path to the xampp folder into the registry node. Below is the .reg example.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\xampp]
"Install_Dir"="C:\\xampp"

Just remove Key "Install_Dir" completely from Windows Registry [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\xampp] and Xampp Control will start without error message. Xamp Control then shows "No installer package found" in status window after start.

I have XAMPP on my USB and I think the problem is that you have to relotact it by running the setup_xampp.bat file in the root folder.

Make sure you do you not use fixed letters if it is on a removable device.
