That's because you are NOT actually installing WampServer, but its PHP add-on.

If you used Google to find it, you probably downloaded and installed the WampServer PHP add on from Source Forge. It would be named something like wampserver3_x64_addon_php7.0.13.exe

You can get the actual WampServer install file from the WampServer project site... which leads you to correct file on Source Forge. It would have a name like wampserver3.0.6_x64_apache2.4.23_mysql5.7.14_php5.6.25-7.0.1

You want to get it from here:
