Hi,

I get Deprecated: Function ereg() is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\drupal-6.17\includes\file.inc on line 926 error when installing Drupal.
I have installed WAMP.

Does anyone know how to fix this?

One quick additional note. Since I guess you won't go for updating Drupal's code, one solution is to actually downgrade to a PHP version prior to 5.3.0

In Drupal's forums there are several messages on this issue, as there also are in several sites around the web. For example:
http://drupal.org/node/514334
http://drupal.org/node/717866
http://hiveminds.co.uk/2010/04/04/fixing-deprecated-ereg-php-in-drupal/

or check this google results set:

Ah, I didn't see iobox's reply since I was typing. Didn't know WAMP is coming with double PHP versions. That's nice and handy apparently :)

@theremon this is i think the only awsome feature of wamp! you can test your scripts on different versions! really great and fast actually...
