Error installing XAMPP: Windows cannot find -n

Question

I've been trying to install XAMPP for quite some time now, but every time, at the end of the installation, it says:

Windows cannot find "-n"

And after that, it says:

Problem running post-install step. Installation failed (php.exe) Perhaps you have to install Visual C++ 2008 package.

I have Visual C++ 2008 package and it still says this. What do I do now? I have Windows 10 64-bit for anyone wondering.

Answer 1

Had the same problem when I tried to install xampp in a folder with spaces in its name (some folder example)

It was solved after I reinstalled xampp in a folder that has no space in its name, E.g. c:/xampp
