My guess is that your machine doesn't have the "Microsoft Visual C++ 
2008 Redistributable Package" runtimes installed on it.  Try this and 
let me know what works:

- before executing apache-install.bat, execute setenv.bat (this should 
load the msvc*.dlls into your path, which are located in 
/ms4w/apache/cgi-bin) and then retry apache-install.bat
- if all else fails, you can download the runtimes installer from 
http://www.microsoft.com/DOWNLOADS/details.aspx?FamilyID=9b2da534-3e03-4391-8a4d-074b9f2bc1bf&displaylang=en

Let me know if either method works...and I will update MS4W's readme 
accordingly, with your results.
