How to use Bitnami Wordpress Install on XAMPP on Windows 7 - xampp

I'm new to running Xampp and Bitnami, but as far I can tell Bitnami provides a 1-click install facility for Wordpress similar to the facility I get on my web host.
Xampp is running and I've installed Bitnami at C:\xampp and can see this under the Applications item on Xampp Admin, but I can't see how to install Wordpress on a new site.
I've tried running the installer again and using path C:\xampp\htdocs\my_new_site and I get an error saying it doesn't contain a valid XAMPP installation. How should I be using Bitnami?

BitNami for XAMPP installs the application you select (WordPress, Drupal and/or Joomla!) in the C:\XAMPP\apps directory here is the step by step guide. If you run the installer and selected WordPress, the files should be placed in c:\XAMPP\apps\wordpress. Currently With the BitNami installer you will be able to install only one WordPress (you can add more instances manually though).

Configure DEV-Domain for TYPO3 on macOS X by editing hosts file

I installed TYPO3 on a virtual machine (Ubuntu, Apache, MySQL) running in VirtualBox on macOSĀ X.
It did work so far, I can access the TYPO3 installer using this URL:
http://1.2.3.123/t3projekt1
When accessing this URL the TYPO3 installer appears and tells me that everything is fine with this installation.
However, I can't manage to configure a development domain by editing the hosts file. I tried:
1.2.3.123/t3projekt1 typo3.dev.com
1.2.3.123 typo3.dev.com
Neither worked... What am I doing wrong?

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

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

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! :)

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.
