wamp server is not working on the windows8

I am installing wamp server 64 bit on my windows 8 system.I get following error "Application was unable to start correctly ( 0*c00007b)"

1) I have not installed the Skype

2) Port 80 is not being used by any program.

3) IIS service is not running on my system

4) I have tried re installing the wamp also

See screenshots error message

enter image description here

Following is there in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
#   127.0.0.1       localhost
#   ::1             localhost

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1       localhost

How to fix this. Even though I start wamp server the icon never turn to green.

Do I need VC++ Redistributable?

Solution

I followed shiva's answer and installed 32 bit version.

Hope some one will post correct solution for this issue.

you can install TCPView to find out that which service is using the post number 80, and close it and then run Apache(if something is using it).

alternately you can edit the httpd.conf file and change the port number ,by default it can be found at this location

C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.2.22\conf\httpd.conf

In it go to the line which has this entry(line 58 in WAMP server 2.4's installation)

Listen 80

and change it to something like this Listen 8080, and restart WAMP(or specifically Apache).

Now you will be able to access localhost like this

http://localhost:8080

Update 1

According to this forum post, installing 32-bit version in place of 64 bit version,solved the issue in some cases
