The application failed to initialize properly( 0xc0150002).Click on OK to terminate application

Today when I install XAMPP (www.apachefriends.org), an error comes out “The application failed to initialize properly( 0xc0150002).Click on OK to terminate application”, I search the internet and found the method to resolve the problem, it is very easy, just download and install the Visual C redistributable: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/info.aspx?na=90&p=&SrcDisplayLang=en&SrcCategoryId=&SrcFamilyId=200b2fd9-ae1a-4a14-984d-389c36f85647&u=http%3a%2f%2fdownload.microsoft.com%2fdownload%2fe%2f1%2fc%2fe1c773de-73ba-494a-a5ba-f24906ecf088%2fvcredist_x86.exe

Notes:
First of all, make sure you installed all Windows XP
service packs.

Then, did you Install XAMPP in “\Program Files” ?
It is more or less protected by the operating system, and
the directory name includes a space, which can be a
problem sometimes.
If so, uninstall, and install in \xampp

Google for “0xc0150002 apache” (without the quotes), there’s a lot of information about it on the web. You may have to install the Visual C redistributable also.
