PHP:How to Open and Test a PHP Script in WampServer

PHP: Exception in module wampmanager.exe at 000F15A0 in Windows 8

You are probably trying to install WAMPServer in your windows machine. It could be Windows 7, Windows 8 or any other Windows machine. After you install WAMPserver and try to launch the WAMPServer you get this error: Exception in module wampmanager.exe at 000F15A0. This is because you are trying to run a 64bit version of WAMP server on a 32 bit Windows server or viceversa.

Solution:To resolve, just uninstall the WAMPServer that you installed and download the right version of WAMPServer that matches your Windows Operating System. In Windows 8 you can view your PC information by selecting 'Settings' and 'PCInfo'.

Additionally, as the WAMPServer requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package (x86) you should download and install it as well from here.http://download.microsoft.com/download/d/d/9/dd9a82d0-52ef-40db-8dab-795376989c03/vcredist_x86.exe
