hfcnew Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) Hello all. First time user here. I don't think anyone's asked this yet, but my apologies if there's already a thread about this that I've missed. I recently purchased a copy of this book ("PHP for the Web: Visual QuickStart Guide, 5th Edition" of course) and followed one of its recommendations: to go to www.apachefriends.org to download XAMPP. I went to that site, followed alll the links, followed its installation wizard, but every time I've tried to install XAMPP (the Windows 7.1.7 version. My OS is Windows 7 Professional) the wizard keeps giving me this pop-up: Warning Problem running post-install step. Installation may not complete correctly Could not set registry key HKEY_LOCAL-MACHINE\Software\xampp Install_Dir REG_SZ How can I fix this? Or can I just ignore this? I've asked this question in the Apache Friends Support Forum about a week ago, but no one's responded yet. I'm hoping Mr. Ullman or someone can help me with this.

Larry Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 So sorry for the much delayed reply! Unfortunately I've never seen this before and the Google searches didn't tell me much. Are you still having issues with this? Can it be ignored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfcnew Posted November 2, 2017 Author Share Posted November 2, 2017 Yeah, that's what I decided to do. No problems so far that I can tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
