Unable to download apache or mysql as a service on XAMPP

Question

When I download XAMPP, the installation wizard doesn't give me the opportunity to download any of the programs (apache, MySQL, etc.) as services. So then when I open the XAMPP control panel, I am not able to check any of the service boxes.

Please help, I have no idea why this is happening!
Thanks

Answer 1

When you download XAMPP, those services should be what you are actually downloading - no need to select anything else.

When you open the XAMPP control panel, have you tried clicking "start" to the right of the programs?

Answer 2

I assume you installed Xampp correctly.

goto Xampp installation directory

1. Path : C:\\xampp

2. Click to xampp-control.exe (Showed in image)

   

3. Open that. Then you find this kind of window

   

4. Click Start on Apache and MySQL front of there names
