WAMP package recommendations?

[jhsachs]

If you've had good experiences with an all-in-one WAMP package, would you please recommend it?

 

Context: I've installed WAMP piece by piece several times, but I'm looking for a more efficient method. Thus I tried an all-in-one package for my current project. I chose one that looked well finished and popular, but when I was done, MySQL didn't work.

 

My preliminary efforts at diagnosing the problem just led me into deep water. Since my objective was to spend less time installing WAMP, not more, I posted a request for help in the package's forum with a description of what had happened and what I'd found.

 

Over the weekend I got one reply. Its drift was, "If you had read the publicly available MySQL documentation, you would know..." The gist was that the problem isn't what I thought but I shouldn't expect any help figuring out what it is.

 

Maybe I can fix the problem with a reasonable additional investment of time, and maybe not. I'd rather remove this package and install one which doesn't create problems, or if it does, they're easy to fix, or if they're not, the forum members are more helpful.

 

Thus, I'm soliciting recommendations.
