Well the only thing I know is that php5ts.dll has to be in Windows/System otherwise Apache wont work.
When Apache is running and I try to delete the file I get "access denied" error. I stop Apache and rename the file to php5ts.dll.old and the server wont start anymore I get that same error message. I rename the file back to php5ts.dll and click start and it starts just fine.
It wont run unless that file is in the system directory that's what was causing my original problem. I don't know why but it wont.

It's possible to copy this dll to the system directory. But I think it's overcrowded enough as it is.
You might also copy the dll to the apache bin directory. Or add your php directory (containing the dll) to the PATH environment variable.
So many possibilities... And that's why
If you do not want to bother with installation isues anymore there are always "out-of-the-box" packages like xampp
