I just installed XAMPP beta with PHP 5.3 on Vista, but installed it in c:\xampp\xampp instead of c:\xampp.

How can I uninstall it and reinstall in the correct directory?

It should just be a matter of deleting the xampp directory and reinstalling.

You might need to delete any shortcuts (Start Menu, Desktop, etc) for the uninstall.
