I tried to install dev desktop, but Apache web server stopped working when installing and it looks like I'm having a post installation error which says I should post here with my log files and

Problem running post-install step....

Strict Standards: Non-static method DOMDocument::loadHTML() should not be called statically in C:\Program Filex(x86)\acquia-drupal\common\setup\setup-php on line 2381

Strict Standards: Non-static method DOMDocument::loadHTML() should not be called statically in C:\Program Filex(x86)\acquia-drupal\common\setup\setup-php on line 2381
DrupalInstaller::run() Maximum number of calls made. Site may not be setup correctly.

Here is the line 2381 in setup.php

static public function asDom($content) {
if (strlen($content) == 0) {
return null;
}
$html = DOMDocument::loadHTML($content);
if (is_null($html)) {
acqThrow("Could not parse HTML at url " . $url);
}
return simplexml_import_dom($html);
}

I couldn't add/paste all of my piscript.log file but some pieces are here
