I've already overcome the difficulties of *installing* apache, much as you describe below, and I also found that if you create a batch file to run the MSI and then run that batch file as an administrator (using the runas command) then things work better. I'll add this to the Wiki later after

Your comment about UAC rang a bell for me. I'd forgotten about that. So I just tried turning UAC off and tried a fresh installation and now it all works fine! The configuration files are all created correctly, the service gets installed, and even starts up OK! The really weird thing is that

I also had the same two errors for service install service start, plus a load of other errors that flashed past very quickly which I think were errors about configuration files not getting created. All three sets of errors went away when I tried again with UAC turned off. I'll send Bill logs
