In fact it's a Xampp problem with windows XP. I wrote a warning note into http://docs.moodle.org/en/Complete_install_packages_for_Windows#Second_-_start_the_webserver:
 "If apache doesn't start on Windows XP, your /windows/system32/msvcr71.dll file could be missing. You can resolve it installing the .Net 1.1 framework" I updated the Readme.txt file into the Moodle Windows Package.

Hi Jerome,
I just found this: http://i.justrealized.com/2009/02/16/how-to-run-xampps-php-cli-and-cakephp-console/ where it's said that the msvcr71.dll dependency is caused by the postgresql php extension. So, I've disabled it in the php.ini file and rebuilt all the packages. It would be great if you can try new packages tomorrow (with Net 1.1 not installed). Ciao P.S.: I'd make the tests myself, my XP box has a lot of MS development tools installed (to be able to build the MSSQL drivers and others) and I'd prefer not to modify anything here.

Hi Eloy,
the new windows package doesn't work without the missing file. I still needed to add it to the windows/system32 folder. Note that for me, installing the .Net framework didn't resolve the issue. I had to look for the file on Google and directly copy it in my /windows/system32 folder.
Hi Jerome,
was playing here with one old version of xampplite ... and found that it includes the msvcr71.dll (and the msvcr80.dll too) file in the apache/bin dir. In the other side, current version of xampplite (1.7) doesn't include them anymore. Also have found some pages pointing about to copy the file into that apache/bin dir as a solution for the problem. Do you think we could try to do that when packages are built? I though about that and I confirm that it works. However I couldn't find a licence for this file. It is a file provided by Microsoft.
I found that: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326922
Microsoft recommends to copy the file into our application (not windows/system32), in our case: apache/bin It "seems" to be ok to add it to the package. What do you think Eloy? This issue is also in 2.0 dev. Fixed using the same method: placing msvcr71.dd into server\apache\bin.
(Sorry if there needs to be a new ticket for this in 2.0. Just getting started)

Done. Now the msvcr71.dll and msvcr80.dll files are added to apache/bin if missing from XAMPPLite distro.
Packages are being rebuilt right now and will be available in a couple of minutes (from 1.6 to HEAD). Please, confirm it solves de problem and .Net and friends aren't needed anymore... ciao I confirm that it works fine now. Thanks Eloy.

It seems to me it's because, Win XP do not understand "/" it should be "\" :
