Apache for Windows won"t start

So I installed 2.2.13 on W2K3 R2 Enterprise Edition SP2 When I try to
start it, I get a message about error code 1, and there is nothing in
the error.log This is the first time I've tried to do this under
Windows. With Linux/UNIX, there would be *something* in the error_log.
But here, I'm stuck. How to proceed?

Windows Application Event Log (until there is a chance to open the log file)

Ahh.

It's complaining about not being able to bind to port 80. Netstat
doesn't show anything else listening on that port. I poked around in
the properties of the service, thinking maybe it's running as a
non-privileged user, but no, it's running as SYSTEM.

Next step? :-)

Thanks...

Disable IIS?
I seem to recall it 'hogs' port 80 even if it's not showing as running?
