However <a href="http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-beta.html" rel="nofollow">Xampp Beta</a> already includes Apache 2.2.6 which means they will probably include it in the next upgrade should everything work fine. In my case I simply removed Apache using the Add/Remove programs from Windows Controlpanel. Apache's uninstaller is designed to leave the config files and your working directory (htdocs) intact making it extremely simple/easy to upgrade as long as you install to the same location again. PHP, MySQL and any other databases/languages are not affected. Hope this answer was of some use for you... Hi Jean-Louis,

My final goal is to get my own web server running Apache and ASP.NET. That is beyond the scope of your comment but here where I am in my quest: Xampp is installed and Apache 2.2.4 is running. I am supposed to install mod_aspdotnet but they recommend I use the 2.2.6 version.. When you suggest uninstalling the existing Apache version, how do you do that without deleting the existing working configuration.
