wamp windows xp httpd.exe aestan tray menu
I'm having problems getting WAMPSERVER to run. Let's start with what I do know:
1) I have 32bit windows xp running with a athalon X2 340 Dual. The property menu of my computer says: (the lack of x64 means I'm running 32bits.)
System: Microsoft XP Professional Version 2002 Service Package 3
2) I have .NET 4.0, C++ 2008 Redist..., and C++ 2010 Redist... installed (each 32bit).
3) I have tried to install both WAMPSERVER2.5 and WAMPSERVER2.2e. Both give me these errors:
httpd.exe is not a valid win32 application and Aestan Tray Menu has encountered a problem and needs to close.
The 2.2e version also gives:
mysql.exe is not a valid win32 application
I realize this problem goes back to 2011. I appreciate your patience with it. I have been all over the forums on this one. Nothing seems to work.
I did see this on another form:
The VC11 library (C++ 2012 Redist..) will not run on Windows XP, even SP3 or Windows Server 2003, so the minimum system requirements to run WAMPServer 2.5 are: Windows 7 SP1 , Windows 8/8.1 , Windows Vista SP2 , Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 , Windows Server 2012/R2.
All help is appreciated. Please keep it constructive guys. Any Ideas? Do you see something I'm doing wrong? Any advanced troubleshooting ideas/ tutorials? workarounds? Thanks! :)
