How do I install XAMPP to another directory on Windows 10? - xampp

I'm having the hardest time installing XAMPP on C:\Development\xampp on Windows 10. I would like my C drive to be as clean as possible so I'm moving as many dev tools to the Development folder as I can to achieve this. I get an error towards the end of the XAMPP installation about a problem running the post-install step. It then suggests I install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable, which I already have the 2012 version installed. Originally XAMPP was installed on C:\ with no problems.
How do I install XAMPP to the above directory or any directory other than C:\?
Edit:
I have tried installing XAMPP portable and now receive the following error

I'm no longer on Windows so I can't re-test, but as I recall, the easiest way I managed this was to use the portable version of xampp.
Make sure to run the shell setup script so that it recognizes it's location properly.
You can get it from Apache Friends
Or from PortableApps.com

Cannot install Aptana Studio on Windows 10: Failed to Correctly Aquire installer_git_windows.exe file: CRC Error

Whenever I run the standalone installer for Aptana Studio I get the following error:
Failed to Correctly Aquire installer_git_windows.exe file: CRC Error
I'm running Windows 10, I've looked online for hours and have found no solution.
I had this problem solved by installing the Git from http://go.appcelerator.com/installer_git_windows.exe.
I had the same error. I believe it still has something to do with the NodeJS.
I went to this site https://nodejs.org/en/download/ use the 32 bit version for Windows 10. Then installed an older version of Aptana https://aptana-studio.en.uptodown.com/windows/versions with the 3.4.2 and tada.. it worked. I don't mind the older version for now.
Rename the installer file to "aptana.exe"
Move that file to c drive
Open CMD in administrator mode Type "c:/aptana.exe /passive /norestart"
Press enter
After some process, a new exe file will be available on desktop which you can use.
It worked for me.
Simply download git from https://git-scm.com/download/win and install it manually before launching the Aptana installer and it will work.

Unable to install XAMPP in windows 10

When i tried to install xampp in windows 10 64 bit it shows "windows cannotfind -n".
Is it the first time you're installing XAMPP on that machine? If it is, I would suggest to run some cleaning software that searches for unnecessary files and folders, clean them up and then try to install XAMPP again.
I recommend software like:
AdwCleaner (https://toolslib.net/downloads/viewdownload/1-adwcleaner/)
Malwarebytes (https://www.malwarebytes.com/)
CCleaner
Why do I suggest these? I personally use those myself and it often helps solving my problems with installing software.
If you've already installed XAMPP before, uninstall it completely and try to install it again after reboot!

Uninstall Xampp (Windows 7)

I have some problems to access phpMyAdmin (Access denied) so I think that my XAMPP was not installed correctly. I want to uninstall this programm but I don't know how. I don't find the uninstall file in my C:/xampp, I don't find the programm in CCleaner, and I don't find the programm in the uninstall panel of Windows. It seems that the programm doesn't exist but I can run it and access localhost. So I don't know what to do, please help !
According to Xamp documentation :
If you installed XAMPP using the installer version, please use the Uninstaller. The Uninstaller will delete all XAMPP entries from your registry and it will uninstall some installed services included with XAMPP. We highly recommend that you use the Uninstall program for removing XAMPP installations from the Installer version.Please backup all the data you want to keep before uninstalling XAMPP.
If you installed XAMPP using the ZIP and 7zip versions, shut down all XAMPP servers and exit all panels. If you installed any services, uninstall and shut them down too. Now simply delete the entire folder where XAMPP is installed. There are no registry entries and no environment variables to clean up.
Hope it helps! :)

New install for Aptana Studio 3 fails to find the JNI shared library

Having deleted the Studio 3, which was working, and installing a new one, the first launch produced the message: "Failed to load the JNI Shared Library: 'C:...java.jdk1.8.0_05\bin..\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll'" Upon checking the indicated bin directory, the 'server' subdirectory was missing. I then installed both jre7 and jre8 as standalone jre's. Both hre7 and jre8 have the server subdirectory under bin. If I point JAVA_HOME towards one of the newer installs, I will lose ready access to the JDK. Is there any other way to tell Aptana Studio 3 which jvm to use?
This whole exercise was started in an attempt to get Aptana Studio 3 to use Ruby 2.0.0, rather than ruby 1.9.3 (both of which are installed). How might one do that? Both rubys are in the PATH, with ruby2.0.0 first. Also RUBY_HOME points to ruby2.0.0. Entering ruby -v at the command prompt yields 1.9.3.
In turn, I am doing this because I am getting a crash in 1.9.3 wich says: "You have encountered a bug in the ruby interpreter..."
You can configure which version of Java Aptana will use in AptanaStudio3.ini: simply add
-vm
C:/Program Files (x86)/Java/jdk1.7.0_21/bin/javaw.exe
(before --launcher.XXMaxPermSize) pointing to a 32bit Java version.
Make sure you have the 32-bit version of the JDK installed. This error occurs with the 64-bit version. Try and download the 32bit JDK, install and Aptana should run (at least that worked for me)
The latest Windows installer does not contain the JRE, contrary to what the page at http://www.aptana.com/products/studio3/success.html says:
The Windows installer includes a compatible version of Java.
I downloaded the 3.5 installer, installed to a different directory, and copied the JRE directory from there to the 3.6.x directory. This has resolved the issue for me.
(I suppose the installer could contain a 32-bit JRE, detect my system is a 64-bit system, and not install it, but the size difference between the two installers is enough to be accounted for by a missing JRE.)
I Was getting the same issue while loading aptana.
Fixed it with following steps.
Uninstalled available jdk7.1 (It was 64 bit)
Uninstalled aptana;
Downloaded and installed jdk7.1 32 bit.
The jvm.dll will be in the follwing path: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.7.0_75\jre\bin\client"
Re installed aptana
Thanks

Installing Subversion on top of already installed Apache?

I have a working WAMP environment (Apache Friends). I decided to try Subversion and downloaded CollabNetSubversion-server-1.6.9-1.win32.exe. On the download page there were packages including Apache server which I did not use - because I didn't want to replace my current Apache installation.
I just installed the one that did not include Apache, and now I want to configure it to work with my current Apache. What should I do?
Is there an easy step by step tutorial to explain this?
There's lots of tutorials such as the XAMPP (apache friends) version http://serk01.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/how-to-create-your-own-home-svn-repository-with-xamppapache/ and the WAMP version http://www.reloadedpc.com/other/setup-wamp-svn-subversion-windows/
If all you want to do is create a repository and do checkins and updates locally on your windows machine then just install TortoiseSVN. Tortoisesvn only installs the shell extension for windows explorer, not any command line svn executables. To get those you have to download them separately and make sure they're the same version of svn that tortoise uses or you'll get errors about version mismatches when using the command line svn.
