Succeeded installing but could not start apache 2.4 on my windows 7 system
Sorry for the belabored question. To solve my problem I just told apache 2.4 to listen to a different port in httpd.conf. Since System was using pid 4 which was listening on port 80, I did not want to explore this any further.
I put the following into httpd.conf.Listen 127.0.0.1:122
The most likely culprit is Microsoft Internet Information Server. You can stop the service from the command line on Windows 7/Vista:
net stop was /y
or XP:
net stop iisadmin /y

I have the same problem too, after upgrading win7 to win10.then I check services.msc and found "World Wide Web Publishing Service" was running automatically by default.So then I disabled it, and running the Apache service again.
