XAMPP installation issues

I'm having issues installing the XAMPP file. I keep getting a message that says "The Selected folder is not empty. Please select a different folder".

Does that mean that it's already installed?

1 Answer

Yes, something is present in that folder already. Just create a new folder.

How do I know if the program isn't already installed? I'm know in the past I used to fool around with some programming software trying to learn on my own but ended up giving up and looking for new methods. I can't remember if I downloaded this one already or not.

On Windows, go to "Control Panel" and select "Programs and Features". If you have it already installed it should appear in that list.
