How to prevent MsDepSvc.exe from starting?

Question

Apparently, IIS7 is interfering with my apache server. To be more precise, it's claiming port 80. Killing MsDepSvc.exe fixes it, but I'd like to prevent MsDepSvc.exe it form starting in the first place.

Anyone who knows how to do that?

Answer 1

In case you haven't solved the problem yet, or for anyone looking for the answer: MsDepSvc.exe is process of the Web Deployment Agent Service. You can control it's startup mode from the Services console (services.msc), for example.
