Had the same problem. Apparently, the folder/file containing WinNT
services was removed in Vista, since it is a total rewrite and does
not use NT code. Have not heard of a solution to the problem.
This may have to be reported as a "bug" in the Apache load program.
Below I am giving solution to my own post, having finally figured it out
after several hours (days!):
The culprit in Vista is UAC (User Account Control). Microsoft went
overboard with its security obssession in providing the most secure
environment, which results in serious compatibility issues, compromising well
known and liked apps like Apache webserver and God knows what
else!
Turn off UAC in Vista and reinstall Apache from Add/Remove programs (Select
Change and then Repair). Now Apache will be installed as a service. You will
still not be able to launch the Apache monitor. Remove the shortcut from Start
menu so you do not get that annoying error message everytime you boot
up.
Let me now if you find out anything more. Tks.

Subject: Apache 2.2.4 and
Vista
Hello Everyone,
I recently
upgraded to Windows Vista from Win XP. Apache server 2.2.4 with
mod_jk/1.2.20 was working fine. Then after the upgrade, I could not open the
Apache monitor.
I uninstalled and reinstalled ver 2.2.4, and during installation,
I get the error msg: Cannot open WinNT services.
Really appreciate if anyone can help.
Sincerely,
Jimmy
