Install Mercury after XAMPP installation

I have initially installed XAMPP without checking the Mercury installation. Of course, the module shows-up in the XAMPP Control panel but is disabled and there is no mean to install it from there. How should I do without re-installing the whole XAMPP package?

For who would be interested (that applies to any not-initially-installed module of XAMPP package):

  1. create a folder inside xampp, e.g. \xampp\mercury. In windows it should be "MercuryMail".
  2. download mercury from here: http://www.pmail.com/downloads_s3_t.htm
  3. during installation, point to the \xampp\mercury\ folder.
  4. edit the file \xampp\xampp-control.ini:

    [EnableModules]->Mercury=1

    [BinaryNames]->Mercury=mercury.exe

Reload XAMPP Control panel That's all!
