Ahh well I have a tip to help you here. There's this thing called
Google. If you search for XAAMP, it will helpfully tell you that it
searched instead for XAMPP and on the first page of results, it will

"XAMPP is an integrated server package of Apache, mySQL, PHP and Perl
(the AMPP in XAMPP) that all run from a removable drive."
