Cannot install wordpress in XAMPP

I have successfully installed XAMPP. My Apache and MySQL server is running perfectly. When I am installing wordpress when the progress par is filling up there is no problem.

But when the progress bar at the end I get the following message in my XAMPP control panel and the installation won't complete. The status will be unpacking file. 

Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
3:53:49 PM  [Apache]    This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 
3:53:49 PM  [Apache]    improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
3:53:49 PM  [Apache]    Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
3:53:49 PM  [Apache]    the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
3:53:49 PM  [Apache]    If you need more help, copy and post this
3:53:49 PM  [Apache]    entire log window on the forums

So anyone got any tips to resolve this problem?
