Please visit the http://www.apachefriends.org/en/img/link.gif win32 compatibility list (http://www.apachefriends.org/winxampp/win32-compatibility-current.txt).

Vista Note: Because missing or insufficient write permissions in the c:\program files folder of the default vista installation, we recommend to use alternate folders for XAMPP e.g. c:\xampp or c:\myfolder\xampp.

Big thanks to Chris from www.nat32.com for his fast adaption of his XAMPP Control Panel. Download older versions of XAMPP (even the "old" WAMPP) directly from http://www.apachefriends.org/img/link.gif Source Forge (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=61776).
