xampp

[jasirw]

Has anyone had success in installing xampp? For those who dont know it is open source and contains PHP, APACHE, FILEZILLA and MYSQL and is amazing! Basically i can use the /S to silence the install but when it comes to starting the services for each of the above programs a dialogue pops up. If anyone had any ideas i would GREATLY appreciate it

For anyone that's interested, the app can be freely downloaded from here: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

Ok, well i decided to try my hand at AutoIt for this one as there didnt seem to be a work around. If anyone is interested here is the script i used (with a lot of help from AutoItMacroGenerator ) I hope this helps someone else in the same position as myself
