Suggestion [3,General]: The command httpd was not found, but does exist in the current location. Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default. If you trust this command, instead type: ".\httpd". See "get-help about_Command_Precedence" for more details.
PS D:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.51\bin>

what is this means?? why ??, thx for the reply

It says it all in the Suggestion.
Windows PowerShell does not load commands from the current location by default

Powershell is more like a Linux terminal than a standard windows terminal. If you want to execute httpd.exe while you are in the folder that httpd.exe lives in you have to do

.\httpd

If you dont know how to use the PowerShell stick to the standard windows Dosbox (Command Prompt)

Now to why you are trying to do this in the first place?
You start APache by default when you run the WAMPManager? So if Apache is not starting, please look at the error logs in `C\wamp\64\logs` and then also check the Windows Event Viewer.

Then show us that information if it is not clear to you why Apache is not starting

thx man 4 the adv .. it didn't solve tho, doesn't matter whether it is on PS or cmd casual, apache still not running .. i switched apache to latest also same thing. so I figure there must have been conflict on runtime file system, and found xampp runs well without hassle ..

Did you bother investigating why Apache stopped working?

i did put effort on all aspect i can get, dude in cmd it does not tell anything wrong just simply none. I wanna keep it simple, i installed its not running, I'm pretty sure if i run apache stand alone w/o any wamp installed on, it will run, i'm facing this issue quite often, if I MAY SUGEST stop including visual c++ and stuffs in release, there are so many buggy and glitch around that Windows library, I my self NO SURE whether the main source of problem from libary or the wamp build, I have code desktop APPS b4 this PHP comes around those DLLs windows are pretty sure horor..

I'll delete this topic l8r *IF POSSIBLE* thx for replying ...

Hi,

I have absolutely no idea what your problem is exactly and if it is a problem due to Wampserver!

The best thing would be for you to reply to : READ (and answer) BEFORE YOU ASK A QUESTION

And thank you for doing it without denigrating anything.
If you are not happy with Windows, this is not the place to say it, go and see Microsoft instead or use one of the fifty Linux distributions, the grass is perhaps greener there.

if I MAY SUGGEST stop including visual c++ and stuffs in release

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about !!!!

The MSVC Runtime Libraries are required for a number of reasons:-
1. The Apache/MySQL code used them, Oto, WAMPServer main man has no control over that.
2. Because WAMPServer is so flexible, i.e. you can use one of about 100 combinations of Apache/MySQL/mariaDB and PHP, its easier to suggest you install ALL of these libraries in case you decide to use an older version of something.
3. These libraries are used by all sorts of other software that is written in C/C++ not only WAMPServer
