WampServer

Hello to everybody. After updating to Tray Menu Manager 3.2.6.4, after clicking the About dialog, the dialog appears, but it is small. It is not possible to expand the dialog and not all options in the dialog are visible. Everything was fine in the previous version. I tried restart from zero, but no luck. Thanks for any help. Jan

Hi,

Are you up to date with Windows updates? (Which version?)

Are you up to date with VC++ redistribution?

- Best way to install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages
The simplest, easiest, least error-prone, fastest way to install the VC++ redistributables that are essential to Wampserver (and to many other softwares) is to use a program that installs everything that is needed with a single executable.
No, this is not a utopia ! It exists and it's 'AIO Repack' named VisualCppRedist AIO created by addobi1406, always updated with the latest versions from Microsoft.
The files to download are here: VisualCppRedist AIO All Releases
Download the latest version of the VisualCppRedist_AIO_x86_x64.exe file and run it as administrator, all necessary redistributable VC++ will be installed and excess or obsolete files will be removed. To ensure that everything runs smoothly, some applications will need to be disabled when requested by the Redist VC++ installer.

Hi Otomatic, thank you for your reply. My Windows version is Windows 11 Pro 23H2 22631.3737, VC++ are latest VisualCppRedist AIO All Releases, checked today to be sure. Wamp version is 3.3.5.

I always try to have the latest versions as soon as you release them, I install them. As I wrote, I didn't have this problem before, only with Tray Menu Manager version 3.2.6.4 64 bit. Jan

Hi,

Wouldn't you have a 4K monitor or something out of 1920 x 1080?

If you need to access the "About" options, it's possible to go back to Tray Menu Manager 3.2.6.3, but of course without the SSL Certificate options.

- In the c:\wamp64\ folder
Rename wampmanager.exe -> wampmanager3.2.6.4
Rename wampmanager3.2.6.3.exe -> wampmanager.exe

Hi Otomatic,
yes, I have a 4k monitor, resolution 3840x2160. It also occurred to me that there might be a bug, but the previous version displayed fine at this resolution. Jan

Hi,

Please let me know if everything is working correctly with the new version 3.2.6.5.

Thanks.

Hi Otomatic,

I just installed the latest Tray Menu Manager 3.2.6.5 update and everything is fine. Thank you very much for your efforts to help me

Hi,

In saying thank you, we mustn't forget Maximus23, without whom, without a doubt, Wampserver would no longer exist!

Let me tell you the story of Aestan Tray Menu, now Tray Menu Manager, at least since 2019. :
----------------------------
Hello,

I have written several times in this forum that the heart of Wampmanager (The Wampserver Manager) is Aestan Tray Menu designed by Onno Broekmans and compiled with Borland Delphi 6.

wampmanager.exe, the icon you see in the system tray, basically generates the initialization file wampmanager.ini from instructions held in the wampmanager.tpl file which allows us to create menus and submenus via the right-click and left-click on the Wampmanager icon.

The items in these menus can perform multiple tasks: display a text, launch an executable or a PHP script with parameter passing, start and stop services, etc.
The development of Aestan Tray Menu was stopped with version 1.6.2.37 of 3/9/2008. Since then, Aestan Tray Menu has been used on many versions of Windows: XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 in 32 and 64 bit, without any problems.
It has managed Apache from V2.2.6 to V2.4.41, PHP from V5.2.17 to V7.4.0, MySQL from V5.0.45 to V8.0.17 and their respective services without missing a beat. Going back a little further in time, Aestan Tray Menu supported Apache 1.3 and PHP 4.

On this and other forums, I have expressed my concern several times that with the successive evolutions of Windows, Aestan Tray Menu may no longer work properly and that then it would mean the demise of Wampserver. Aestan Tray Menu having been transferred to the Public Domain by its designer, Onno Broekmans, I looked at the source, but I quickly understood that I had neither the skills nor the recent tools essential for a recompilation.

Then, one day, on June 25 2019, on a forum I frequent, I saw with amazement in a message from a participant, Maximus23 this post: "Following the update of windows 10 I had some errors with "Aestan Tray Menu" so I started fixing some things and I recompiled everything which was not an easy task."

From there, I began work as tester of this new Aestan Tray Menu. I created problem reports, requests for modifications and/or additions to which Maximus23 responded with rigour, tenacity and perseverance, going so far as to completely rewrite the libraries used. Maximus23 has also completely rewritten the error handler so now an error is clearly displayed and no longer crashes Aestan Tray Menu, moreover, the error text is automatically copied to the clipboard.

As the compiler used is now Delphi Community Edition 10.3.1, Maximus23 has compiled a 32-bit and a 64-bit version of Aestan Tray Menu.
These two versions will be used in WAMPServer V3.2.0 and above.

A huge thank you to Maximus23.

Hi,

Thanks Otomatic

Thanks yanzac for tests

Hi Otomatic, Hi Maximus,

Thank you very much for sharing the story, while writing and looking for help with the problem, I unfortunately did not realize, who is behind this project.

Thank you both for your work and the time you put into this project
