WAMP 1.7 default charset

Hello

I have an idea for WampServer installer. As I saw, setup writes some code to INI/CONF files of MySQL, PHP, PHPMyAdmin and Apache. So all of this programs support default coding/charsets, f.e. latin1, latin2, utf etc. Maybe it's possible to add to installer a combobox, where everybody can choose their codepage. People from England, Germany etc can use LATIN1, people from Eastern Europe (like me) will select LATIN2.
I think that all administrators thank U for this option.

Best regards
Dominik

Thanks for this but I know a lot of about charsets :-P

My idea was another think. Maybe during install process of WAMPServer everybody could make a choice which charset he/she would like to use as default.

Look at this lines form MY.INI (MySQL):

# The default character set that will be used when a new schema or table is
# created and no character set is defined
default-character-set=latin2

I have made changes manually, but it can be made during install just like with PHP.INI:

[mail function]
; For Win32 only.
SMTP = localhost

This line installer fill automatically with value that every user can enter during install process.

I hope that U understand me now :-)
