Hello Drupal people,

I am completely new to drupal and I'm struggling to get this drupal site running. I am using Drupal 8 on Xampp, and I ran into this error after filling out configure site section on that initial Drupal setup screen when you first go to the url.

Error: Call to a member function setRecipients() on null in standard_form_install_configure_submit() (line 25 of core\profiles\standard\standard.profile).
standard_form_install_configure_submit(Array, Object)

Looks as though the site email address is not set, or not getting read.

There is an open issue on this: https://www.drupal.org/node/2780071

However, I doubt that issue will get much traction because I don't think many people work with XXAMP: I found it a struggle and cannot imagine ever putting myself through it again when there are several easier ways to get Drupal running on Windows (the easiest being Aquia Dev Desktop).

Yeah it has been pretty frustrating working with xampp, every tutorial I watch goes through this 8 minute process and poof it's installed. Not exactly my experience, and I've noticed the lack documentation for this issue, so I'll definitely have to check out Acquia. Thanks again.

Drupal professionals are more likely to use Drupal VM (https://drupalvm.com). Nothing wrong with Acquia dev desktop though, it gets you up and running fastest, with one of the two command lines Drupal tools (drush, not Drupal console), and phpmyadmin.
