Xampp not running due to PHP 7

Question

Yes, I have read other topics saying to uninstall skype (I do not have skype), and to change port '80' to '8080' in config file - none of this worked for me.

My problem started when I downloaded PHP version 7 (till now I used 5.3 I guess). I've deleted everything from my xampp/php folder, and unzipped there PHP 7 files.

My Xampp apache control panel doesn't start and displays:

Apache]     Error: Apache shutdown unexpectedly.
13:40:33  [Apache]  This may be due to a blocked port, missing dependencies, 
13:40:33  [Apache]  improper privileges, a crash, or a shutdown by another method.
13:40:33  [Apache]  Press the Logs button to view error logs and check
13:40:33  [Apache]  the Windows Event Viewer for more clues
13:40:33  [Apache]  If you need more help, copy and post this
13:40:33  [Apache]  entire log window on the forums

What can cause the problem? What can I do?
