4.1.1 should be upgraded instead of being deleted.

See this thread.

Extract XAMPP-OpenEMR Package to C drive.

Hi,
From our understanding, there is mysql and apache services installed, but they are not linked to XAMPP. One possible solution would be to Stop those services and start apache and mysql in XAMPP panel.

And also a typical installation would be like C:/xampp/htdocs/openemr.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, I went into Services and there is an instance of Apache 2.4, but when I try to start or stop it, get a message that the file cannot be found. I don’t know how to remove it from services. Also the disable is not shown.

Hopefully 4.1.1 XAMPP had been backed up before deletion.

Read the thread provided above.

Get rid of the new install by going to C-drive and delete the new XAMPP folder.

Start all over again with a new install of the Package, taking care to follow the instructions meticulously.

Had Aptana Studio 3 installed, but did not realize that it used Apache. Uninstalled, ran xampp control panel and all is now OK.
Thanks to those who replied and gave advise.
Nice to know there are people one can rely on to help out in a situation
Have a GREAT day all
