0xc0150002

I recently installed the newest version of XAMPP on my WinServer2003 box, and I get that error while trying to install the apache service.

Every other service works fine, except that one.

Run Services.msc and check the current status of the Apache service. See if it is locked pending delete perhaps?

Also check the event log (run eventvwr)

You might need to give a bit more information relating to the speific error - where the message occurred etc. what appears in the event log. Is there currently an apache service installed, does it start/stop OK, what rights does the current logged-in user have whilst trying to install etc.

The service isn't even installed, that's what it's trying to do.

 

Application popup: apache.exe - Application Error : The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150002). Click on OK to terminate the application.

 

Generate Activation Context failed for c:\program files\XAMPP\apache\bin\apache.exe. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

 

Resolve Partial Assembly failed for Microsoft.VC80.CRT. Reference error message: The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

 

Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC80.CRT could not be found and Last Error was The referenced assembly is not installed on your system.

 

 

First one is just an information, the rest are errors.

 

Nm, found the problem. Just had to install dotnetfix.

Thats more useful

 

You're missing some runtime libraries. Microsoft Visual C runtimes.

 

Your problem may be similar to this one http://www.crystalfontz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4417

 

Note the requirement for the .net framework even though it "wasn't required"

 

Is this a pretty recent version of apache? (2.3??)

 

If this doensn't work I'd google around the error messages. It's to do with a system dependency which is missing or corrupted (if that fails check your admin rights).
