Installing the newest version of Wamp server

I'm learning PHP and I'm a newbie in apache, mysql,etc.

I tried to install WAMPServer (The current newest version 2.5) but I get the error:

msvcr110.dll is missing.

I have followed some instructions given here: WAMP shows error 'MSVCR100.dll' is missing when install

However, none of the advice worked for me. I have already installed Visual C++ for windows 32 bits and Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012. After that I installed Visual C++ 2008, it didn't worked either.

And even after that I installed vcredist_x86.exe. This gave me an option to repair my Visual C++, and so I did.

In all my tries I restarted my computer.

I didn't install Visual c++ for windows 64 bits because my os is running a 32 version.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your attention, berga007

Solution

  • Please make sure you have the latest version of all of these Microsoft C/C++ Redistributable runtime libraries. You dont need the whole compiler, just these C/C++ runtime libraries.

    The 2008 Redist (32bit) is used by wampmanager even if you installed the 64bit WAMPServer.

    The 2010 Redist is used by some versions of Apache ( depending on compiler used ).

    The 2012 Redist is used by some versions of Apache ( depending on compiler used ).

    FOR WAMP 32bit

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86)

    If you are using WampServer 2.4/2.5 32bit and therefore Apache 2.4.x

    Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 is required And select vcredist_x86.exe

    Due to the naming convention used by Microsoft dowmloading these libraries can get a little confusing so download them one at a time and install that download before downloading the next and installing that.

    To check that you have all the required runtimes, launch 'Programs and Features' by Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Feature

    For a 32bit system it should look something like this, ignore the fact that mine has what look like multiple versions of the same library, its just because when you download a newer version it does not remove the older revisions :-
