My WAMP icon is randomly orange. I think the only change I've made to this computer is installing Windows Visual Studio Express.

I've followed this on solving it... including changing Skype port and installing apache service fixes: Wampserver 2.1 gives orange icon after install on Windows 7

It gives the following... I have no idea what Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0 is... but more importantly why WAMP isn't running on this port:

Other things I've tried:

Any other suggestions?

This one bit me as well - see ferolen.com/blog/… for more detail. You need to deactivate the Web Deployment Agent Service (MsDepSvc) service – fvu
Okay I did that, but Web Deployment Agent Service started itself on system reboot... and I tried manually starting apache from Admin tools -> Services and it threw the error above. – Growler
@fvu Since it seems correlated to my MS Visual Studio install, I read this line solutions mentioned about turning off Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) and thought of uninstalling it. You think that would help? – Growler
@fvu whoops. Had to go to msconfig and turn off the auto start for Web Deployment Agent Service and, on restart, the WAMP platform boots up. Thanks! – Growler
@fvu please post as answer, including changing auto start in msconfig, and I'll accept it! Thanks again – Growler

Several references to that service here on SO as well, like here, it doesn't seem useful at all when you're using a non IIS stack.
