Uninstall the installer exe version, download and extract the zip version then run the setup_xampp.bat file.

Should I extract the zip file in C:\ or can I use my septate hard drive E:\ or does not matter.
I also have Visual Studio 2010 ultimate installed on my system
I am running windows vista 64bit
I also running Virus programs like: Microsoft Security Essential, Malewarebytes, Kaspersky, Spybot search and destroy

You can extract it where you like as long as it is in the root of a drive or partition.
See the \xampp\readme_en.txt file for the instructions and on the XAMPP for Windows home page.

Do I need to uninstall any of these softwares in order to extract the zip file
Virus programs like: Microsoft Security Essential, Malewarebytes, Kaspersky, Spybot search and destroy

Definitely not - check the downloaded zip file for viruses as normal.

I'm getting this same error (in XP-32) and Apache service will not start. Would love some advice.

The same link I posted above will explain what has already been achieved with this error message.

Unrelated issue and off topic in here but read the \xampp\apache\logs\error.log file for clues why Apache can't start and this issue has been covered many many times and may well be the most popular topic in these forums with muliple solutions.

Best wishes.
