Using the Dependency Walker the issue seems to be with php5ts.dll; access is denied to php5apache2_4.dll when trying to open it. When trying to open php5ts.dll with the Dependency Walker, even when run as an Administrator, I'm given the Windows alert "You don't have permission to open this file". This suggests that php5ts.dll has been created with the wrong permissions.

Replacing php5ts.dll with the version from 5.5.3 allows Apache to run 5.5.7, again suggesting that there is some fundamental permission error with the version starting 5.5.4 (the file cannot be opened or copied even when "run as administrator").

php5ts.dll was being blocked by AVG anti-virus (2011). Not sure if this qualifies as a bug or not so I won't close.

Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PHP itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PHP, please
visit http://www.php.net/support.php as this bug system is not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions.  Due to the volume
of reports we can not explain in detail here why your report is not
a bug.  The support channels will be able to provide an explanation
for you.

Thank you for your interest in PHP.
