  Click OK to<br />
  close the application</p>

  <p>I get a message that the application cannot start when I click the <code>shell</code> button in XAMPP control panel.</p>
  <p>I reinstalled XAMPP but it didn't work.<br />
  I Updated my environment tables to mysql/bin so I can globally use MYSQL.
  I can open the xampp_shell.bat and I will probably do that for now.</p>
