httpd.exe - Application error while starting apache in xampp server in window 8.1
07:03 20 Apr 2017

I got

httpd.exe - system error, The program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing while starting Apache server.

I'm using windows 8.1 machine.

To solve that problem i copy .dll files in window32 directory and when i restart the xampp, got new error.

httpd.exe - Application error The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close application

Port 80 is not actually being used. I have already reinstalled it many times but same error occurs.

I'm trying to install latest xampp version (7.1.1)

xampp windows-8.1 application-error system-error
