Windows 10 Professional build 10.0.19041.572 does not allow Apache Lounge build of Apache 2.4.46 to run.

The exact error message Windows displays is: "This app cannot run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher."

I have verified that I have the 64-bit build of Apache for my 64-bit PC and that I am running version 14.27.29112.0 of Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable.

Has this apache build been tested under this build of Windows? What is the remedy?

Try updating to the 14.28.29325 redistributable: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x64.exe

Also, it does not harm to install the X86 distributable as well: https://aka.ms/vs/16/release/VC_redist.x86.exe

I am running my own build of Apache 64 bits on a even newer Windows 10 version: Version 20H2, 19042.630. I did not test the Apachelounge version, but that should probabbly run as well.

Updating to 14.28.29325 redistributable did not fix the problem. Windows gives same error as before.

Updating to Windows 10 (Professional) build 10.0.19042.630 did not fix the problem either. Windows gives same error as before.

At this point, it looks like that Apache Lounge latest apache build was not properly tested with latest version of Windows, or installation instructions are lacking critical information.

If that really was the case there would have been lots and lots of complaints. The version that is on the downloads page is almost 1.5 months old.

Maybe there are not enough Windows users who are on the later builds. Ideally, whether a build is tested against a particular build of Windows or not is the kind of information that should be in release notes. This level of details which may be critical with Microsoft continuous rollout of Windows 10 is missing from release notes.

Perhaps you can try installing the Apache Lounge build (instead of your custom build) and see if you run into this:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19042.630]
(c) 2020 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Apache24>cd bin

C:\Apache24\bin>httpd.exe -f c:\apache24\bin\httpd.conf
Access is denied.

C:\Apache24\bin>httpd --version
Access is denied.

There are no log entries in event log.

Runs fine. I had to Ctrl-C to stop it from running after the first serverName error.

Access denied in your case seems to indicate a permissions problem.

Thanks for verifying this. It cannot be permissions, I am running it as Administrator.

Apparently you have an adjusted httpd.conf at a non-standard location. Try the default one as supplied in the ApacheLounge download.

That was a typo, mine is in standard location:

C:\Apache24\bin>httpd.exe -f c:\apache24\conf\httpd.conf
Access is denied.

httpd.exe is giving up even before reading httpd.conf

The cause of the problem was that httpd.exe was 0 bytes! I have no idea or explanation how that happened but I distinctly remember that back in 1994, if an executable was corrupted or was 0 bytes, Windows 3.1 would have given the following error when user tried to run it:

Your {filename} executable is corrupted.

One century later, Microsoft has improved the error message so it says:

This app cannot run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with the software publisher.

You be the judge of which error message was more helpful!
