I don't login as administrator set when I swith on my computer. And when I check Control Panel, Administrative Tools, then Services Apache is not on the list.

Can anybody help with this?

You have to start the command line in Administrator mode.

thank you so much but i am still getting some error like below Installing the 'Apache2.4' service The 'Apache2.4' service is successfully installed. Testing httpd.conf.... Errors reported here must be corrected before the service can be started.

On Windows server 2008, for some reason the command httpd -k install did not work (AH00369) even though I was in an Administrator command prompt.

However I was able to install the service using the sc command (references https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/251192/how-to-create-a-windows-service-by-using-sc-exe and When creating a service with sc.exe how to pass in context parameters?)

sc.exe create apache2.4 start= auto obj= "<username>" password= "<password>" DisplayName= "Apache 2.4" depend= "Tcpip/Afd" binpath= "\"c:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.33\bin\httpd.exe\" -k runservice"

username and password are necessary if you access network drives or UNC pathnames from apache
