First please correct your Windows version in your profile:

We need to know which Windows version you are using as now support is very much version related.
The link above will explain.

1.7.7 is your XAMPP version.

Now we need to know your Windows Operating System.

Windows 2008

[Sharley]

Windows 2008 what?
As requested the correct version needs to be added to your profile.

[Kevin4life]

there i updated it

[Sharley]

Thanks for that.
All you achieved by not adding that info when you registered (3 times) and subsequent numerous requests was to waist needless amounts of your own time, as that info request is very important for correct support or we would not need to ask for it.


XAMPP for Windows 1.7.7 is compiled using VC9 (Visual C++ SP1) and so the runtime file (Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)) is needed and can be downloaded then installed using this Microsoft link which also contains full information:

Then try and start Apache again.


New users can often find self help by reading these pages:
readme_en.txt file in the xampp folder.

Thanks for the feedback.

I am pleased that you can now move forward.

I will close this topic and mark it solved.

Please feel free to start a new topic if you have any more issues with XAMPP for Windows.

Good luck.
