I tried to install xampp (I downloaded xampp-win32-upgrade-1.7.2-1.7.3). After I finish extracting it gives fatal error :

failed opening required : G:\xampp\install\xampp_xampp_php' in G:\xampp\setup_xampp.bat on line 33

Did I download wrong archive. I'm installing on windows 7 64 bit.I don't have any preinstalled xampp.

Uhm just out of curiosity, if you don't have xampp installed, why did you get the upgrade version instead of the final one? Get the basic package instead

It's because you downloaded the 32 bit version, hence the 'win32' in the name.

Not true, you can run 32 bit apps in 64 OSs (although they might run slower than their native 64b counterparts)
That should not be a problem. W7x64 can handle 32bit apps. I use 32bit xampp myself.
it help says it supports 64 bit
Yea, you're right, but this particular one gives errors on some 64 bit machines. I just read an article about it.
Do a search in google for 'xampp 64 bit' - you can probably find a solution there.

You can also try a new WAMP Stack called AMPPS by Softaculous.

You can download xampp from Apache-friends. In there select your operating system such as windows / Linux etc.. Then in the download section click on xampp. Then you will see the link called "installer" click on it. and your download will start and it.

Download and install the software to your computer. If the application control start automatically it is fine. If not you can go to the folder where the xampp is downloaded and then check for xampp control click on it and open it.

Then what you have to do is starting Apache to access to our localhost. So you click on the start button right in front of Apache. And that you will see it starts running.

I installed it on Windows 10 and it installs quite easily as long as you have the correct version. I only chose Apache and MariaDB during installation. As I am using an earlier version of MySQL and using IIS, I will have to modify the MySQL and Apache to work on my computer. Although the installation web site says MariaDB, I still see MySQL. Perhaps I need to upgrade to MariaDB.

Here you can find more details with some screen shots: http://hodentek.blogspot.com/2015/11/installing-xampp-on-computer-running.html
