WampServer

Hello all;
I run simple Linux and Windows OS servers with Apache and PHP so I think I know a bit. However, I am really getting nowhere on a current project/build.
I want to configure a server to run Wordpress or Silverstripe so I built an XP - SP3 PC, installed all required progs and apps (VC++, dotnet 4) and dl'ed Wampserver. And my firewall is OFF.
No matter how often I reinstall, reformat or whatever, I cannot get past the "Aestan Tray Menu has encountered a problem" error and start the program.
So I dl'ed EasyPH as an alt and got an error that Apache couldn't start. I saw nothing weird in the httpd.conf.
So I dl'ed Apache and it works fine! (IP and ports are operational)
I would so appreciate someone clue-ing me in on what I could be missing. My major reason for this venture is to try Wordpress (CMS) and I am NOT a MySQL person...so I thought a package might be the way to go. I have read countless posts but to no avail. Thank you

Have you installed the VC++ 2008 redist?

Have a read on this thread, the first post

[forum.wampserver.com]

I have tried both VC++2008 and VC++2010, loaded them prior, also tried after, and always regardless to no success. Currently have 10.0.40219 installed.
And I have read the posts...so many posts.
Thank you

What do you do to get the 'Aestan Tray Menu has encountered a problem' error?

install the program using the default values (actually have tried modifying too). At the end of the install I let it load the program and I get the failure notice. (or after the failure to load if I try to start it again)

Regardless of your os version and architecture searh google for and Install "ms c++ 2008 sp1 x86 redis"

It's the first one in the search results

clean installed 2008 and now I get the msvcr100.dll not found error. Researching...

reinstalled both C++ and WAMP several times in several orders and still get the msvrc error. So I assume Apache wont start as it cant ID port 80....
That dll is not on any of my 5 PCs in my office....
Advise?

Then u need to install the ms c++ 2010 sp1 redist in x86 or x64 depending in your OS.

2008 is for wamp
2010 is for apahe
