Install old php on WampServer

Hi, I have the wampserver 2.5 environment with the default php 5.5.x installed.
Now I need to install an old version of php, the 5.4.x. I tried following more guides but did not want to go.
I'll explain what I did.
I downloaded the php I needed and put it in the c: \ wamp \ bin \ php folder. I copied the 3 files (php.ini, phpforapache.ini, wampserver.conf) from php 5.5 to this new 5.4.
Then in the first 2 files I modified the php extension_dir path by putting that in php5.4.
I refreshed the server but when I click on php 5.4 the server does not start and the icon remains yellow for some arcane reason.
What is it that does not go?
Thank you
Max

Hi,

Wampserver 2.5 is no longer supported.
Switch to Wampserver 3 and you can install almost any version of PHP between PHP 5.2.17 and 7.2.0
