No matter what I try to do, I can't get this one right. I unzipped the 1.70 version for windows, ran setup_xampp.bat, start_apache.bat. start_apache.bat seems to start with no problems (I've used xampp for a long time and I know how it looks like when things are working). But then when I try opening the front page http://localhost, browsers just can't connect. My OS is Windows Vista Business. I used to be able to run xampp 1.5 earlier with it and there were no problems. I tried to clear everything and re-install the lite version (unzip and exe, tried both) but with no luck. I'm not gonna touch any non-lite-versions since I've had big problems with those in the past. I like the lite-version and I want to run it.
I've checked the following:
- all ports are free (no other software messing with those)
- there are no other php.ini anywhere
- It's not a browser cache issue, any browser just can't connect, the page is not available.
- It's not a firewall issue, I'm running F-Secure but I also tried disabling that - does not help
- I read through other other messages here, tried adding Win32DisableAcceptEx, no luck
- I also tried commenting out everything under the supplemental configuration -> made the error messages go away in the error.log but the problem exists.
- I've tried running under c:\xampplite and c:\somefolder\xampplite, not using "Program Files" at all
The apache error log says:

Trying to figure out the error messages...Is there something wrong with the package you're giving out?
please help me out. I'd really appreciate it.
EDIT: I gave up and tried the normal installer instead of lite one thinking that would fix my problems. No luck. Still getting the same errors. If I try to run PHP by double clicking php.exe, the same components fail to load as mentioned above. Also, I'm getting errors of zlib1.dll not found. Anybody knows anything about this? Could it be some failing environment variables or something like that?
