I have installed Visual Studio 2012.
I downloaded wampserver(ws) and installed it.
When the ws installation finished the ws manager runs and the 'W' in the tray turns green.
I update the php.ini and httpd,conf with these amendments
1 Open php.ini in Notepad
2 Search for doc_root
3 Set doc_root to:-
doc_root = "C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2..4.2\htdocs"
4 set extension_dir to:-
extension_dir "C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.3\ext"
5 set mysqli values
php_mysqli.dll
;php_mysql.dll
6 set session.save_path
session.save_path = "C:\Windows\Temp"
7 Save and close php.ini
8 Run Notepad as administrator
Navigate to C:\wamp\bin\apache\apache2.4.2\conf\httpd.conf
set DirectoryIndex
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm
9 Goto end of httpd.conf
Add these lines
LoadModule php5_module "C:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/php5apache2_4.dll"
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
PHPInidIR "c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3"
I run the ws manager and the 'W' in the tray is orange.
I have undone the above and the 'W' is still orange.
I am having trouble getting localhost to work, I get a message saying the file can't be displayed.
I have installed Visual Studio 2012 and VC++ 2012 runtimes from AVG and ws recommends the installation of VC++ 2010 runtimes I have installed those as well.
ws won't work
I am on Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1
I am using a Sony laptop with i5 processor.
I would be grateful if anybody could help
Thanks in anticipation of your help

I have successfully installed wampserver on XP and Vista before without too much stress. So I was optimistic this would go well as well.
The 2 things that I had different was the Visual Studio 2012 installation and windows 7.
So reasoning that I was no worse off I removed VS 2012 and tried installing ws again, this did not go well but I removed it again and had another go and hey wampserver is now working with all of the changes that I had made before.
This of course leaves me without VS and I suspect that when I come to re-install that, I shall be back with another question but featuring VS perhaps.
So thank you to everybody that read the question look out for the VS question
