Reason and solution:
CAUSE DETERMINATION
====================
The root cause of the problem was the host machine missing the MSVCR71.DLL

Reference:

Note.800326.1 Ext/Pub Error Starting HTTP Server "Cannot Load ORACLE_HOME\Apache\Apache\modules\Apachemodulefastcgi.dll":
Note.880744.1 Ext/Mod FMW 11g Installation Fails Restarting "ias-component=ohs1" Due To Missing MSVCP71.DLL:
Note.880713.1 Ext/Mod FMW 11g Installation Fails Creating AS Instance Due to Missing MSVCR71.DLL:

The HTTP Server requires this DLL to be able to start on a MS Windows machine. Unfortunately this FMW 11g install requirement on MS Windows is not documented. A documentation bug and enhancement request has been logged

Bug 8876691 Abstract: DOC THE MISSING PRE-REQ FOR EXISTENCE OF OPMN REQUIRED DLL - MSVCR71.DLL IN PATH

Bug 8871919 Abstract: PRE-REQ CHECK REQUIRED FOR MSVCR71.DLL

In a future patchset release of FMW 11g - most likely the FMW 11g patchset 2 - a installer pre-requisite check should be in place which will prompt the user if the DLLs are not in place. The Release Notes will also be updated to describe this issue.

PROPOSED SOLUTION(S)
======================
The MS Windows c:\windows\system32 directories needs to contain the following DLLs

- MSVCR71.DLL
- MSVCP71.DLL

These DLLs can be obtained from Microsoft. Alternatively you can copy the DLLs from the FMW 11g ORACLE_HOME and then create an instance by running the Configuration Wizard
