WAMP图标为橙色 - 尝试skype并安装apache服务修复程序

Question

My WAMP icon is randomly orange. I think the only change I've made to this computer is installing Windows Visual Studio Express.

I've followed this on solving it... including changing Skype port and installing apache service fixes: Wampserver 2.1 gives orange icon after install on Windows 7

It gives the following... I have no idea what Microsoft-HTTPAPI/2.0 is... but more importantly why WAMP isn't running on this port:

Other things I've tried:

• in System32/drivers/hosts file, change ::1 localhost to 127.0.0.1 localhost, but it was already set the correct way: http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,70321
• Look in WAMP apache error log: Nothing

Any other suggestions?

This one bit me as well - see http://www.ferolen.com/blog/microsoft-httpapi2-0-use-port-80-cannot-start-wamp-apache/ for more detail. You need to deactivate the "Web Deployment Agent Service" (MsDepSvc) service.

Several references to that service here on SO as well, like here, it doesn't seem useful at all when you're using a non IIS stack.
