I had same problem when installing Robot Framework 2.9.2 using the Windows installer version on Windows 7.

I could solve it installing the VC14 builds require to have the "Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 x86 or x64 installed" from Microsoft website.

I had the same issue  I changed the ports  restarted the services but in vein   only worked for me when I updated the Microsoft Visual c   files

On the side bar of the PHP 7 alpha download page  it does say this      VC9  VC11  amp  VC14   More recent versions of PHP are built with VC9  VC11   or VC14  Visual Studio 2008  2012 or 2015 compiler respectively  and   include improvements in performance and stability          The VC9 builds require you to have the Visual C   Redistributable for Visual Studio 2008 SP1 x86 or x64 installed   The VC11 builds require to have the Visual C   Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 x86 or x64 installed   The VC14 builds require to have the Visual C   Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 x86 or x64 installed      There s been a problem with some of those links  so the files are also available from Softpedia   In the case of the PHP 7 alpha  it s the last option that s required   I think that the placement of this information is poor  as it s kind of marginalized  i e   it s basically literally in the margin   whereas it s actually critical for the software to run   I documented my experiences of getting PHP 7 alpha up and running on Windows 8 1 in PHP  getting PHP7 alpha running on Windows 8 1  and it covers some more symptoms that might crop up  They re out of scope for this question but might help other people   Other symptom of this issue    Apache not starting  claiming php7apache2 4 dll is missing despite it definitely being in place  and offering nothing else in any log  php-cgi exe - The FastCGI process exited unexpectedly  as per  ftexperts s comment below    Attempted solution    Using the php7apache2 4 dll file from an earlier PHP 7 dev build  This did not work     I include those for googleability

Usually this is an error in your PHP configuration   It s actually pretty easy to figure out what exactly is going on    Create a small file  test php  with the standard phpinfo   script Open a command prompt Start php manually using the small file  e g     program files php php exe  test php Read the error messages  -

I got same error and found that my Microsoft Visual C   is 32 bit and Windows is 64 bit  I tried to install WAMP 7 32 bit and the problem was solved    Maybe we need to install WAMP 32 bit if Visual Studio is 32 bit  And vice versa

For things like this  you don t blindly keep clicking  Next    Next   and  I Agree    WAMP informs you about this during and before installation      The MSVC runtime libraries VC9  VC10  VC11 are required for Wampserver   2 4  2 5 and 3 0  even if you use only Apache and PHP versions with VC11  Runtimes VC13  VC14 is required for PHP 7 and Apache 2 4 17      VC9 Packages  Visual C   2008 SP1    http   www microsoft com en-us download details aspx id 5582   http   www microsoft com en-us download details aspx id 2092      VC10 Packages  Visual C   2010 SP1    http   www microsoft com en-us download details aspx id 8328   http   www microsoft com en-us download details aspx id 13523      VC11 Packages  Visual C   2012 Update 4  The two files   VSU4 vcredist x86 exe and VSU4 vcredist x64 exe to be download are on   the same page    http   www microsoft com en-us download details aspx id 30679      VC13 Packages   Visual C   2013   The two files VSU4 vcredist x86 exe   and VSU4 vcredist x64 exe to be download are on the same page    https   www microsoft com en-us download details aspx id 40784      VC14 Packages  Visual C   2015  The two files vcredist x86 exe and   vcredist x64 exe to be download are on the same page    http   www microsoft com en-us download details aspx id 48145      You must install both 32 and 64bit versions  even if you do not use   Wampserver 64 bit    IMPORTANT NOTE  Be sure to to run all Microsoft Visual C   installations with administrator privileges  right click   Run as Administrator   Just missing this small step wasted my entire day

Visual C   Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015  x32 bit version  - RC   This should correct that  You can google for what the DLL is  but that s not important   PS  It s officially from Microsoft too    Where I found it  Downloads  Visual Studio

If you ve followed Adam s instructions and you re still getting this error make sure you ve installed the right variants  x86 or x64    I had VC14x64 with PHP7x86 and I still got this error  Changing PHP7 to x64 fixed it  It s easy to miss you accidentally installed the wrong version
