Run your editor as Adminstrator than it will work 
The reason is that C:\Program Files\.... are not write able to normal users. That's why apachelounge (AL) recommends to unpack the zip from AL to c:/apache2 |

Thanks for your reply. I am using Mac OS and pulling my hair out. So many people have this issue. No solution yet and I have been on a gazillion forums and even called Mac support. No help.
