Answer 1

Before you install Wamp!

If already installed, then UNINSTALL WAMP(you can backup folders WWW and BIN>mysql>data), and install MS PACKAGES at first:

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package !
( or 2010 or 2012 version.. in some cases, maybe .Net Framework is needed too?))

After that, install WAMP!

Answer 2

A few things to check:

• Have you installed the services? It can be a little temperamental the tray, but look for an install services batch file. This will get the apache and mysql services running
• Is your configuration OK? Particularly, check apache's config with httpd -t on the command line (make sure that you're in the apache/bin folder if httpd isn't in your path)
• Have you got the correct version (32bit versus 64bit)?
• Have you checked your wamp error logs?
• Have you got the pre-requisites installed, such as the Microsoft VC++ redistributable?

If you're still having trouble, checkout the official forum (such as this post http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,53095) and post there for some decent help.
