So I'm trying to install XAMPP on my new windows 7 box. It's failing with the below error message. I've enabled debug for reference.

I've checked netstat, there are no port conflicts. Futher, I've made sure that VS 2008 redist is installed (x64, which is correct for my system). I'm not sure where to go from here.

Attempting to start Apache app... Executing "c:\xampp\apache\bin\httpd.exe" Return code: 0 Status change detected: running Status change detected: stopped Apache] Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly. Apache] This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method. Check the "/xampp/apache/logs/error.log" file and the Windows Event Viewer for more clues

In my own case it was because after installing, windows opened automatically a 'cmd' console, closing that console made apache work fine.
