This is a specific issue for Windows Vista  7  8  and presumably newer    User Account Control  UAC  is a feature in Windows that can help you stay in control of your computer by informing you when a program makes a change that requires administrator-level permission  UAC works by adjusting the permission level of your user account    This is applied mostly to C  Program Files  You may have noticed sometimes  that some applications can see files in C  Program Files that does not exist there  You know why  Windows now tend to have  C  Program Files  folder customized for every user  For example  old applications store config files  like  ini  in the same folder where the executable files are stored  In the good old days all users had the same configurations for such apps  In nowadays Windows stores configs in the special folder tied to the user account  Thus  now different users may have different configs while application still think that config files are in the same folder with the executables   XAMPP does not like to have different config for different users  In fact it is not a config file for XAMPP  it is folders where you keep your projects and databases  The idea of XAMPP is to make projects same for all users  This is a source of a conflict with Windows   All you need is to avoid installing XAMPP into C  Program Files  Thus XAMPP will always use the original files for all users and there would be no confusion   I recommend to install XAMPP into the special folder in root directory like in C  XAMPP  But before you choose the folder you need to click  on this warning message
