 * I reinstalled my XAMPP but I totally forgot that one of my projects is still 
   there.
    So, I moved the folder from the htdocs from the previous xampp instalation(
   I never remove it on the Uninstaller wizard, luckily) but when I open it asks
   me for installing WordPress (again). Probably it’s something with the database,
   I still have the mysql/mydatabase folder (with the ‘data’ folder in it). I know
   it’s a dummy mistake but I totally forgot that project, thanks.

   of the files :/
