title: How can I get the XAMPP control panel to install & start services correctly?
body: <p>So recently every time I've tried to install Apache/MySQL/FileZilla as a service on XAMPP, it says something along the line of this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>5:20:18 AM  [Apache]    Apache Service detected with wrong path
  5:20:18 AM  [Apache]    Change XAMPP Apache settings or
  5:20:18 AM  [Apache]    Uninstall/disable the other service manually first
  5:20:18 AM  [Apache]    Found Path: ERROR: Not Able To Open Service Manager
  5:20:18 AM  [Apache]    Expected Path: "f:\xampp\apache\bin\httpd.exe" -k runservice
  5:20:18 AM  [Apache]    Successful!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Afterwards, I can't start the process from the XAMPP panel until I uninstall the service from there and until then the Module name is highlighted red. Although if I leave them installed as a service (red name and all), I can go into the services manager and start them manually and they start fine, and even the XAMPP control panel turns them green and notices they run. This would probably happen for Tomcat as well, I just never use it so I haven't messed with it. All the paths seem to be correct (I do have it on the F drive), but even after countless reinstalls and registry wipe-downs, the XAMPP control does not seem to want to handle installing &amp; running the service correctly. Getting a bit frustrated with this, so thanks in advance for any help.</p>
