Apache module problem solved, still can't use it

[Chiriel]

XAMPP version is 7.0.4
Installation file type Application (exe)
Full name is xampp-win32-7.0.4-0-VC14-installer

My Operating System is Windows 10
64 bit Operating System/x64 processor
Home Edition
*Not sure where to find the service pack level

The installation path is C:\xampp\new_directory

I've reinstalled XAMPP a couple of times until I could see the modules in the specified folder. I see them now but Apache still won't start..

When I went to the log event viewer I saw that this error was listed
httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 37 of C:/xampp/new_directory/apache/conf/httpd.conf: ServerRoot must be a valid directory

Is there anyway I can fix this without having to reinstall XAMPP AGAIN??

Also, I don't know if this matters or no, but in the service portion of the administrative tools, I've seen Apache 2.4 and Apache Tomcat.Tomcat7
When I try to start those services, they won't work either. The error message says to contact the vendor. I haven't found anything on it in the event logs...

I tried to contact the vendor like it says, but I don't see any phone numbers. I've seen a couple of email links but I don't know which ones will help me with this specific problem.. I don't even know if I have to do anything about this at all. Can someone please help me?

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 37 of C:/xampp/new_directory/apache/conf/httpd.conf: ServerRoot must be a valid directory

So open that httpd.conf file and on line 37 (ServerRoot) make sure it is set to "C:/xampp/new_directory/apache" and does not have a # in the beginning of the line (it shouldn't)

It's set to xampp/apache..

How do I change it? I won't let me edit the text there..

execute the setup_xampp.bat script

[Chiriel]

It says, "Sorry, nothing to do, Press any key to continue".

And when I press the key the bat file closes.

Just FTR.. I solved it... Apache's working now. FINALLY
