Unhandled win32 exception while installing WAMP

Question

I am pretty new to WAMP and PHP, I am trying to install WAMP server to run Silverstripe CMS. But I am constantly getting this error:

Unhandled win32 exception occured in php-win.exe[2804]

Anyone know how do I solve this error and run WAMP smoothly?

Any explanation why exactly this happens? Can it be avoided?

Answer 1

Your Wamp author should have a support site. This may be a corruption in the PHP installation program (looks like....), or it could be something else. Event logs may give better clues. Mmm. Does Silverstripe have a preferred Wamp? Do they actually support Wamp installation?

From Silversite.org installation doc:

Having inspected your machine, WebPI will list the software that SilverStripe depends on. It's a much smarter way to have a web platform on Windows, because it saves you downloading a wholly separate WAMP server.

If your vendor has no answer, you might try a different vendor: Wikipedia comparison of WAMPS
