"Since your software isn't implementing the win32 api correctly, there's nothing
we can do to help you; take your question to an appropriate user support forum,
this resource is for solving bugs in the -Apache- software."

This is lameness. Other apps can open sockets just fine without digging 3 levels
deep into time-forgotten tcp/ip dialogs to tweak things most people have never
seen and should not need to change to get a simple webserver running, so what's
your excuse? I walk through the msi, and unless I've done something wonky to my
network or settings, the daemon should not crash using a distro configuration.
Someone with less time or patience would assume the software just doesn't work
and move on.

In this case, the only other software not implementing apis correctly would be
windows itself, and I know what MS would say if people came whining to them
about this bug... "apache who?" Please be the bigger developer and document this
problem up front. (I've noticed php bugs of this nature are copped-out-of in the
same way. If they can't figure it out or don't want to be bothered with it, they
pass blame instead of making a simple note where people can find it.)

I have unchecked said box, and things appear to be working for now.
