You'll have to stop the associated services, at the very least.

Very often, Skype take port 80 and 443 in use, so if you have skype, you need to deactivate that in your skype settings (Advanced -> Connection)

beside what panther said, also go to your xampp folder, click on xampp_stop.exe to just play safe. sometime the service panel doesn't close all the app but the stop.exe will make sure it will.

then you should check xampp-portcheck.exe and see if anything is left
close down your xampp control panel
ctrl+al+delete to check the third time, see any associated exe is still running, such as mysql, xampp, and ect.

now run uninstall.exe

You want to disable the Internet Information Service (IIS)?
it's quite simple
go back to the IIS control panel
expand the list and click on something like the "default web site"
then press "stop" ■
another way is just simply, remove the entire IIS application from windows
