Please check that you have the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 installed on this computer.

Apache 2.4.9 requires this library to be installed.

Click the download button and then select either the X86(32bit) or X64(64bit) link to match the version of WAMPServer(32 or 64) that you installed.

If you are running on a 64bit Windows, its a good idea to download and install both the 64 and 32 bit libraries, as something somewhere you use in the future will also require the library.
