WampServer

I'm stuck on the install of the PHP7.05 for wamp 3.







I'm logged in as superadmin, and wamp is clearly installed on c:/wamp.

these files are in c:\wamp\
wampmanager.conf
wampmanager.exe
wampmanager.ini
wampmanager.tpl

In wampmanager.conf:

installDir = "c:/wamp"

I'm sure I'm in the right directory.

This is on windows 10 64 bits.


This is a continuation of another thread, which got a bit off topic.

Hi,

I don't know why!
The installer does:

begin
  Result := '';
  //--- Check if installation folder is that of Wampserver
  if(not FileExists(ExpandConstant('{app}\wampmanager.conf'))
  or not FileExists(ExpandConstant('{app}\wampmanager.exe'))
  or not FileExists(ExpandConstant('{app}\wampmanager.ini'))
  or not FileExists(ExpandConstant('{app}\wampmanager.tpl'))
  ) then
  begin
    Result := ExpandConstant('{cm:NotPreviousInstall}');
    exit;
  end;

You must verify that such administrator is owner of c:\wamp\.
I know it sounds silly, but the administrator is not necessarily the owner of the folder and files inside.
See note 2 of TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Did you run the install exe "as an administrator" ?

yes, run as administrator. Same error.

Hi,

I'm sorry, but so far you are the only one where this problem occurs.
It seems you have a problem on your system that ban install on c :.

Try other installations such as PHP 7.0.6 or 5.6.21 or phpMyAdmin to see if the problem is the same.

Exactly the same error with PHP 7.0.6 and 7.0.7. Both as normal user and adminsitrator. Logged in as admin and executed as admin (if that makes any difference).

I gave up and reinstalled wamp3.
