Hi
If this is default xampp then the default mysql username is usually root not admin. Also by default the password is unset/empty but you will know if you changed that.
Read the set up screens carefully - you are asked for the mysql credentials separately from whatever you want the xerte admin account to be.

The update package can be used to keep an existing 3.10 up to date. We fix fatal bugs found after releasing a specific version and the changes are put in the update package.

That is not really a Xerte issue, so I don't know. There are too many variables.

However, as a start, could you start a cmd as admin, and then run the following command:

netstat -nab

Could you send us the output?

Dear Tom,
I think I can manage it now. However, when I install Xerte 3.10 successfully in host, but I can change from private to public. I can do when I install xerte 3.10 on home PC.
why does it happen?
BR,
Thoa
