Simply will not install

We are trying to install the lastest version of Zencart. It keeps crashing the server and says cant run or install. Windows then closes the window. Any advice please

Re: Simply will not install

Wamp 2.0i uses PHP 5.3.0, which Zen Cart v1.3.8a and older are not compatible with.

You'll need to use Wamp 2.0h or older until the next version of Zen Cart is released.

Re: Simply will not install

You have to create a database, and a user with suitable permissions. Read the documentation how to create a database to install Zencart. Its already well documented.
