How do I install XAMPP to another directory on Windows 10?

Question

I'm having the hardest time installing XAMPP on C:\Development\xampp on Windows 10. I would like my C drive to be as clean as possible so I'm moving as many dev tools to the Development folder as I can to achieve this. I get an error towards the end of the XAMPP installation about a problem running the post-install step. It then suggests I install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable, which I already have the 2012 version installed. Originally XAMPP was installed on C:\ with no problems.

How do I install XAMPP to the above directory or any directory other than C:\?

Edit:

I have tried installing XAMPP portable and now receive the following error

Answer 1

I'm no longer on Windows so I can't re-test, but as I recall, the easiest way I managed this was to use the portable version of xampp. Make sure to run the shell setup script so that it recognizes it's location properly.

You can get it from Apache Friends Or from PortableApps.com
