How to fix XAMPP Installation Error
1. Install XAMPP Outside of C: > Program Files
The issue here is that installing XAMPP in the program files folder will require UAC permission to run each time. So, by installing it outside the folder, you are avoiding the UAC issues with the software. Note: If you are creating a custom folder, make sure that you don’t include any spaces between the name of the folder.
3. Disable UAC (User Account Control) ( Less Safe)
Note: Disabling UAC is not recommended by Microsoft as it exposes your computer to external threats. Only disable UAC if the other fixes did not resolve the issue.
4. Remove Old XAMPP Installation
Follow the fixes given in this article and you should be able to install XAMPP without any errors.
