The "publisher" did not want to pay the licensing fees of Microsoft. Just go on.

No worries - carry on with install

Forgot to tell you to check you have the correct windows packages for everything to run in WAMP server.

Thank you guys for the advise,,

I downloaded the same version from cnet.com , noticed a little bit difference in size,

However, I selected to install the first one even a bit more in size, once done, the program can't run,

saying that something called "VCRUNTIME140.dll" is missing out,,

How to fix this? many thanks in advance,,

 

Did you install the appropriate  VC14 Package (Visual C++ 2015)  as mentioned above?

Seems not.

Maxpower, I got this MS C++ distributor package installed, (see attached image).

which one of the above (VC) would be suitable to be installed?

Advise please...  which is the appropriate package for Windows 7, 64 bit, MS C++ as shown in above,

 

VC9 and VC10 choose the bottom links. VC 11 13 14 choose X64 version at the Microsoft site.

 

 

I use XAMPP which works really well form me.

WAMP is a bit lighter, apart from that its personal choice.

Below snapped from a PC running WAMP

 

 

 

Remove all of your x86 entries you dont need them

 

 

 

 

Was installed as mentioned,

upon the completion, not seeing the icon green = (running)

also when tried to test in browser (localhost) as will show in the below attaches,

Look at the image near the clock,

the second image, as following in the tutorial of installation,

Any suggestion guys?

Two things. Windows firewall is blocking Apache or it cant use port 80 because something like Skype has control.

If the WAMP icon is brown and you cant open the WAMP menu from the icon uninstall and reinstall WAMP. If all packages are installed correctly, windows firewall will ask if you want to allow the Apache server during the install process.

I was trying n trying all possible options, port 80, 84 ,, at the end the final solution was to uninstall and re-install, then turned to be green.. alright now, !!  Thanks for sharing ideas,,

A new issue come up,,, to login to phpMyAdmin

I didn't set any password or user ID, my first click,, and shown up as in the below image !!!

tried the default one usually use to login router settings : admin / admin

it says, password to be YES, I typed,, but still could not login ,,,

Login with username root no password - you can continue to use this or make a new user in phpmyadmin making sure you give all permissions.

Thanks maxpower, done !! logged in now :) 

Tip. If you are developing Wordpress you should consider making two installs with separate dbases. One for development and one for reference.

Google is your friend if you want Apache config info.

 

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.2>
DocumentRoot c:/wamp64/www/wordpress1
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName wordpress1
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/wordpress1">
Options Indexes
Options FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.3>
DocumentRoot c:/wamp64/www/wordpress2
ServerAdmin [email protected]
ServerName wordpress2
</VirtualHost>

<Directory "c:/wamp64/www/wordpress2">
Options Indexes
Options FollowSymLinks
Options +Indexes
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

 

Yes, I'm going for Wordpress development,

I will go step step with it, if any issue will ask again here,

Very much thankful for this kind assistance, have a peaceful good night !

some issue with IE browser that can't connect with the WAMP local host,  (see attached image)

but can display when go to the menu and click phpMyAdmin.

is there any thing missing ? or how to change the default browser of the localhost WAMP?

usually I use Chrome and Firefox Mozilla, but this IE was ask since the initial installation, so it was set by default,

 

Maybe if change the default browser will work out? or suggestions about this issue guys?

 

I am guessing that /testsite/wordpress  is not inside the www directory

 

But looking at your url you spelt wordpress wrong

 

To change the default browser you need to edit the wampmanager.conf file in root of wamp64 dir.

 

navigator ="path to your browser exe file"

The folder in inside www, for sure this is the major setup, following installation n settings step by step, but the result didnt perform at this step,

Maybe the problem with IE not capable to connect,, even just to localhost where supposed to show the main idex,

 

 

Try 127.0.0.1

 

Best you use Firefox or Chrome
