You have described my scenario exactly. Previous VS17 runtime installations on my Win 7 box contained the .dll files that httpd v2.4.67 (compiled with VS18) looks for. I will make it a priority to upgrade my OS since I may not be this lucky next time.

Thanks!

RE: VS18 not running on Windows 7

The Apache VS18 build will be looking for vcruntime140.dll (and related DLLs), so you will need an appropriate Visual C++ Redistributable package installed before it will run.

For you I believe the issue here is since Microsoft dropped support for Windows 7, they've updated their recent Visual C++ Redistributables to no longer install on that OS.

Trying assorted redistributable package downloads on a test VM instance of Windows 7 Pro (64 bit), I get the following:

https://aka.ms/vs/17/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

https://aka.ms/vs/18/release/vc_redist.x64.exe

So it looks like recent VS18 vc_redist installers (>= V14.50) are the problem.

The fact you've managed to install Visual Studio 18 on your Windows 7 platform, thus giving you a working vcruntime140.dll, rather confirms Microsoft haven't got round to blocking that installation yet.

I wouldn't expect there to be any specific stability issues, compared to other OS platforms. However, with VS18 installed, you'll obviously have a large number of additional files hanging around.

Either way, this workaround means there's no need for a specific VS17 build of Apache 2.4.67 from the ....

Yes, the VS17 box is a Win 7 machine.

Apache 2.4.67 (VS18) seems to be running without issues on my Windows 7 VS17 machine. I just hit my server several thousand times and it did not crash.

I suppose it is stable? But, I would very much prefer a VS17 build if possible. I am willing to pay via paypal.

I installed VS18 2.4.67 on my VS17 box. Apache appears to be running without issues.

Is this configuration reliable or is it only a matter of time until it crashes?

Thanks for being interested in helping.

My issue is that I am unable to install VS18 -BB full stop. I have not attempted to run 2.4.67 because of this fact. Should I try to run 2.4.67 compiled with VS18 on a VS17 installed machine?

Hi,

I have been using Apache Lounge for my Apache Web Server for windows and third party modules. This is my 1st post in the forum.

I understand that mod_security 2.9.12 has CVE and the new mod_security 2.9.13 source code has been released. May I check if Apache Lounge will be releasing the compiled module_security 2.9.13 for windows.

Thank you.

Beware: the curl extension in the upcoming releases of PHP 8.2+ will require you to install the brotli and zstd dll's as well, if you compile the code unaltered:
https://github.com/winlibs/cURL/issues/26#issuecomment-4373830217
My builds will link brotli and zstd statically, so there will be no need to install those dll's.

RE: mod_xsendfile 1.0 :: updated

MIP — Tue, 05 May 2026 15:51:45 GMT

Hello,
after upgrading from VS17 to VS18, I am seeing an issue with UNC paths that worked correctly before.
With mod_xsendfile on VS17, serving files from a UNC path works fine.
With VS18, access is denied and Apache logs:

Code:

AH10504: check_unc: UNC path //example/share/... not allowed by UNCList

With both VS17 and VS18, local files served through xsendfile work correctly.
Simplified config (anonymized):

Code:

XSendFile On
XSendFilePath "//FILESERV01/share"

<Directory "//FILESERV01/share">
Require all granted
</Directory>

UNCList FILESERV01

I have tried different UNCList combinations without success.
Is this behavior intentional in the VS18 builds?
Is there a recommended way to allow UNC paths now?
Thanks

Release 1.6 includes the following build dependency update:

There are no other changes to the batch file build logic.

Note, ModSecurity 2.9.13 supports LUA 5.5 series, but doesn't yet come with build support for CMake. An updated CMakeLists.txt file for building ModSecurity 2.9.13 (with an revised list of source files), can be downloaded from https://pastebin.com/U6d6uwFy.

Release 4.8 includes the following build dependency updates:

CURL (8.20.0)
EXPAT (2.8.0)
HTTPD (2.4.67)
LUA (5.5.0)
LIBXML2 (2.15.3)
NGHTTP2 (1.69.0)

Other than release version details, there are no changes to the batch file build logic from before.

Note, if you use ModSecurity, the switch to LUA 5.5 series means you need ModSecurity 2.9.13, or if sticking with 2.9.12, provide lua54.dll from a previous build. This file is included in the Apache Lounge HTTPD download.
