It had been installed once, but I removed the files, directory, reg keys. And it no longer shows up as a installed program in the control panel (fyi: Windows XP Home)
And still the installer thinks Apache is installed. How does the e-novative detect an installation of Apache, so I can correct this. krc |

I would like to mention that this too occured for me, except I had never installed your software before.
I have no apache software anywhere on my system and yet your installer fails. I'm sure it's just a gigo error, as one can't foresee every bit of code results in the end users setups. Hope you get the installer to work! It sounds like it may be a nice setup you have here. skysober@hotmail.com |

Our installer checks for the presence of an Apache service. Click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> Administrative Tools and double-click Services to see the list of services installed on your computer. You will realize that Apache appears in the list.
Before you can install >e-novative> WAMP, you must remove the Apache service. It is probably left over due to an unclean uninstall of Apache. See http://www.cryer.co.uk/brian/windows/howto_nt ... on how to remove the service if you can't run the Apache uninstaller to do it for you. The point is that our installer would fail to register the Apache service because it is already present. If we'd remove the initial check, you could walk through the installation, but would end up with a WAMP installation that does not start.

Hi there,
I use Win XP Pro in German as operating system. So what's "Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> Administrative Tools" in German for my Windows? Many thanks in advance Michi |

Even if it is not in the services list, it may be still in the registry.
See here: http://www.e-novative.info/software/wamp/wamp ... |

This is strange...I actually installed it with apache already installed, I had two Apache's running but I couldn't get my php to access mysql properly so I uninstalled everything (including my existing Apache) and tried to reinstall then it said i've already got Apache installed...but I haven't because I removed both.
I have removed the service with this... http://iain.cx/src/nssm/ It's a good tool, services can easily be removed by running it from dos with the syntax: nssm remove ServiceName The installer still thinks apache is installed but I haven't rebooted yet...it's not conveniant for me to reboot so I wont know until I do. |

This is a native ability of Windows. From a CLI:
sc delete Apache ...boom. Service gone. |

Hi,
the message "Sorry Apache is already installed..." can be treated by removing all entries including "Apache" out of the registry. Start -> Ausführen... -> "regedit" (input) Search for the entries "Apache" and remove it. Attention: Remove only entries where is written something with "./e-novative" |

That is an unreliable method that should not/cannot be trusted.
Not to mention only users familiar with the Windows registry should attempt to modify it. |

I actually found that removing any entries referring to apache,mysql,etc through 'hijack this' worked thisis considering u have backed up all your content/databases before doing so as well.
