WampServer

PHP 5.6 was retired in 2018. And there's also 7.0,7.1,7.2,7.3 included in the installer. Default installer should not include EOL software packages. WAMP should not encourage the bad practice of using outdated and vulnerable software. Whoever wants to use them can easily add them later.

Removing EOL PHP versions would also remove requirement to include PhpMyAdmin 4.9. Thus reducing the total size of installation.

Also, instead of telling users to install multiple vc redist, just tell them to install this single package which install all vc redists for you. [github.com]
this will help with user annoyance and frustration.

Hi,

Wampserver 3.3.0 full install will include only:
