I have an issue with my XAMPP Control Pannel.

Each time I run my XAMPP Control Pannel, it shuts down, with these errors :

This is what the application error window show me :

Can you explain me how to fix it please ?

Answer 1

First, your user must have administrator permission.

Second, install Xampp outside of "program files", preferably install in C:\xampp (It usually comes with this by default).

Third, after installation (Before running Xampp), go to the C:\xampp directory, look for xampp-control.exe, right click on it, go to "properties" go to the "compatibility" tab and then check the "run as administrator" option.
