Best Solution to Install XAMPP with “Because an activated User Account Control (UAC) ...” message

In this video, I'll guide you through the best way to install XAMPP on your system, even with an activated User Account Control (UAC) error. Many users encounter frustrating error messages during installation, and I'm here to help you understand and resolve them.
We'll start by explaining the significance of the error message you might see:
"Important! Because an activated User Account Control (UAC) on your system, some functions of XAMPP are possibly restricted. With UAC, please avoid installing XAMPP to C:\Program Files (missing write permissions). Or deactivate UAC with msconfig after this setup."
This message indicates that UAC is preventing certain actions required by XAMPP, leading to installation problems.
I'll walk you through the steps to ensure your account has administrator privileges, which are necessary for making changes to your system. Then, we'll adjust the UAC settings to allow for a smooth installation. You'll learn how to open the Local Users and Groups window, check your user account's privileges, and modify UAC settings through the Control Panel.
If you're not comfortable turning off UAC completely, I'll also provide an alternative solution. Instead of installing XAMPP in the default Program Files folder, we'll choose a different location like C:\xampp to bypass UAC restrictions.
By the end of this video, you'll have a clear understanding of the installation process and how to avoid common pitfalls. Whether you're new to XAMPP or an experienced user, these tips will help you get up and running without errors. Don't forget to re-enable UAC once XAMPP is installed to keep your system secure.
Follow along step-by-step, and let's get XAMPP installed on your system hassle-free!
