NWR Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Evening all. Today I've purchased: Sams Teach Yourself PHP, MySQL and Apache - All in One (Forth Edition). The book comes with a CD with software to install. The problem is I've tried to install MySQL as stated in the book but when I get to the final configuration step I get the following message: C:\Program Files (x86\MySQL Server 5.0\bin\MySQLInstanceConfig.exe The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail. Can anyone advise what the problem could be? I did have WAMP installed but I've removed it as I want to follow the instructions in the book. NWR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe92 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 The W in WAMP stands for Windows and the L in LAMP stands for Linux. A LAMP setup will not run on a windows operating system and vice versa. Also, did you copy and paste that file path onto here? Because if so there should be a closing bracket after (x86. Hope this helps Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
