InnoDB is one of MySQL storage engines, it supports transactions, row-level locking, and foreign-keys. However, by default, InnoDB is not enabled by XAMPP. To enable it, locate the my.cnf configuration file (normally in C:/xampp/mysql/bin directory) and search for the following lines:

I’ve tried it but still not works.. InnoDB still disabled although I’ve restart the xampp. Can u help me?

I’ve never experienced like that,it always work. What xampp version do you use?The main line to comment is “skip-innodb”, make sure you’ve commented it and try to stop mysql service and start again.

I tried the above but whatever changes i made to my.cnf file wasnt reflective on restarting mysql instance. The following worked for me:
1. If you have MYSQL SYSTEM TRAY MONITOR, launch it – you will a little icon on the notification task bar on your windows machine.
2. Right click it and choose Configure instance.
3. Select Startup Variables on the left item listings.
4. Toggle to InnoDB Parameters tab.
5. At the footer of the window you will see a label:
Options file: C:\WINDOWS\my.ini

I tried the above but whatever changes i made to my.cnf file in apachefriends folder, nothing was working. The following worked for me:
1. If you have MYSQL SYSTEM TRAY MONITOR installed on your machine (it is bundled with MYSQL QUERY BROWSER), launch it – you will see a little icon on the notification task bar on your windows machine.
2. Right click it and choose “Configure instance”.
3. Select “Startup Variables” on the left item listings.
4. Toggle to “InnoDB Parameters” tab. Select “Activate InnoDB”. You will notice all your settings are disabled.( to change your settings/uncomment as mentioned above, follow the next steps)
5. At the footer of the InnoDB tab window you will see a label:
Options file: C:\WINDOWS\my.ini
Section: mysqld
So this is where my configuration file was located. This ini file took precedent over the apachefriends folder > my.cnf. Locate this file and simply follow the uncommenting procedure of this post and save.
6. Stop the mysql service by right clicking on the Monitor tray again. Select “Shutdown Instance”.
7. Right click again and Select “Start Instance”.
8. Now you will see all your InnoDB variables settings.

Thank you for your information. It works for me. But I’d installed XAMPP on C:/Program Files/xampp/ so all folders begin with C:/Program Files/xampp/ instead of C:/xampp/

It was difficult to find the start options of mysql in my installation.
Finally I found this information: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/resetting-permissions.html
There are several lines that help me to understand:
“The appropriate –defaults-file setting can be found using the Services Manager:
Start Menu -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services
Find the MySQL service in the list, right-click on it, and choose the Properties option. The Path to executable field contains the –defaults-file setting. ”
The right settings worked when I changed no the my.ini file but the my.cfg located in: C:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.cnf
C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqld-nt –defaults-file=C:\xampp\mysql\bin\my.cnf mysql
