Answer 1

You just need Visual C++ runtime 2015 installed, if you change your php version to the newest version you will get the error for it. this is why apache has php dependency error.

Answer 2

Check your apache error log. I had this error "[error] (OS 5)Access is denied. : could not open transfer log file C:/wamp/logs/access.log. Unable to open logs" Then I rename my "access.log" to other name, you can delete if you don't need/never see your access log. Then restart your apache service. This happen because the file size too big. I think if you trying to open this file using notepad, it will not open, I tried to open that before. Hope it help.
