Hello,

When I try to restart Win 7 (64bit) I get this error message from apache.exe or mysqladmin.exe like this "the application was unable to start correctly 0xc0000142" I get this error since I have installed EasyPHP, and I don't know how can I solve this issue?

Many thanks in advance!
Adi

As described, this started happening after adding the local web stack. 's compatibility hint can help for shortcuts, but when a process fails to initialize during boot the fix is usually diagnostic and targeted rather than a simple compatibility tweak. The checklist below focuses on identifying which DLL or service is failing and then resolving that root cause so the error does not reappear on future restarts.

Start by capturing facts: open Event Viewer (run eventvwr) and look under Windows Logs -> Application for entries that match the time of the restart. Note the faulting application name, faulting module and Event ID. Also check the web server and database logs inside the EasyPHP install folder for startup errors. Running the server binaries from a Command Prompt (so any text output appears) often reveals missing DLL messages that the GUI hides.

If the logs are not clear, collect a targeted trace and dump. Use Process Monitor (ProcMon) to watch DLL loads for the failing executable and look for ACCESS DENIED or NAME NOT FOUND results. To capture a crash dump for offline analysis, Sysinternals ProcDump is useful; for example:

procdump -e -ma -x C:\dumps apache.exe

That creates a full dump when the process faults; a debugger can then show the failing module and call stack.

Common, non-speculative next steps once the bad module is identified: reinstall the matching Visual C++ redistributables required by your EasyPHP build; ensure you installed the 32-bit vs 64-bit edition that matches the binaries; remove conflicting entries from the PATH (other PHP/MySQL installs can drop incompatible DLLs into PATH); and prevent the EasyPHP services from auto-starting at boot (use services.msc or msconfig) so you can bring them up manually while watching logs. If no failing module appears, run sfc /scannow to rule out corrupted system DLLs. These steps isolate the true cause and avoid blind reinstalls.

Try this, but if it doesn't work then please answer the questions that follow it.

Right-click the EasyPHP Shortcut you use to start the program > Properties > Compatibility > Tick the "Run this program as Administrator" box > Click Okay

Please clarify...

Which version of EasyPHP have you installed?

This message appears on a blue screen? (you have to turn off the computer)

This message appears only when you want to restart the computer for normal purposes?

This message appears after you install EasyPHP and you are required to restart the computer as part of the installation process?
