wamp reinstall - how to replace new files with old files

I formatted my hard drive, and saved the full folder of my WAMP (c:\wamp).

I then reinstalled Windows and the installed the exact same WAMP server, and then just replaced all the contents in c:\wamp with my previous version.

I was hoping this would work.

But the wamp indicator just stays yellow now, and when I try to run localhost it just says,

Could not execute menu (internal error).

[Exception] Could not execute run action. The directory name is invalid.

Can someone tell me how best to get my previous WAMP version up and running??

Thank you.

Solution

  • I realised when I reinstalled WAMP I had a slightly different version. When I made certain that the new WAMP version was idential the previous WAMP version, I could easily replace the new install content with all my previous content.
