Hi

I am new to Zen Cart, and have just installed it.

Installed XAMPP (xampp-win32-1.7.2.exe).

Installed Zen Cart (zen-cart-v1.3.8a-full-fileset-12112007.zip)

During the install I got errors:

Function ereg() is deprecated - got round this by replacing 'E_ALL' with 'E_ALL & ~E_DEPRECATED'

Cannot redeclare date_diff() in admin\includes\functions\general.php - got round this by renaming it my_date_diff.

Now I have it running and can see the store.

However, when I open zen-cart as a project using Visual Web Developer 2008 it comes up with this error:

Error 1 XML document must contain a root level element. C:\xampp\htdocs\zen-cart\includes\modules\payment\paypal\paypal_functions.php

Any ideas how to solve this?
