[MS4W-Users] Install on new system issue

[Jeff McKenna]

Hi Steve,

I have hit that exact issue/wall with the "could not bind to address
0.0.0.0:80" error - it was in fact due to the client's server had
rebooted and the IIS service had automatically started, which uses Port
80, and Apache could not start (trying to use the same port).
