I'm unable to find Windows binaries for 2.2.26; only 2.2.25 is available at apache.org and on all mirrors.  I searched the FAQ and the mailing list archive and the only relevant thing I found is (emphasis mine):

Q. Why isn't there a binary for my platform?
A. ...The sole exception to these practices is the Windows package. Unlike most Unix and Unix-like platforms,
Windows systems do not come with a bundled software development environment, so we do prepare binary kits for
Windows when we make a release. Again, however, it's a voluntary thing and only a limited number of the developers
have the capability to build the InstallShield package, so the Windows release may lag somewhat behind the source
release. This lag should be no more than a few days at most.

On a related note, I also noticed that no Windows binary exists for the 2.4 branch, not even an old version.

Please see http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/platform/windows.html#down

There are several well-trusted third-parties that provide Windows binaries. You should try one of them. (There are also several not-as-well-trusted third-parties that provide Windows binaries. I didn't list them on that page.)
