In reply to Valancio Fernandes. It should work the same for 1.7.4 and 1.7.7. The main differences are in the XAMPP panel and the default settings.

ver : xampp1.7.3 works fine , I suppose the ver: 1.7.4 & 1.7.7 are not so stable . They still need to be engineered to perfection.

In reply to GameDaddy. You can definitely use netscat to check for port conflicts, but I don't think it is the friendliest tool. Personally, I recommend using CurrPorts from Nirsoft to check for port conflicts. Thanks for your feedback.

Works fine now, Thanks!
On Windows machines, to ensure multiple services aren’t listening on or using the same port, open a command prompt in admin mode and type;
netstat -an
using the an switch to see what is currently running.

In reply to john romania.

Not so sure about that. With XAMPP 1.7.3 and running IIS to block the ports, I get the following:
C:\xampp>xampp_start Starting "xampp"... "xampp" is not started.
Not exactly informative.
XAMPP 1.7.7 is a little more informative, but not much:
C:\xampp-1.7.7>xampp_start XAMPP now starts as a console application. Instead of pressing Control-C in this console window, please use xampp_stop.exe to stop XAMPP, because it lets XAMPP end any current transactions and cleanup gracefully. (OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80 (OS 10013)An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions. : make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Unable to open logs
Still doesn’t tell you what the problem is. I still recommend installing a port checker as in this tutorial.
Thanks for your comment.
