got a "unknown database" problem when installing in the local Wampserver

I installed zencart 1.51 and Wampserver in my PC but failed on "database name". Wampserver was installed successfully. When I intall zencart, I can't find "MySQL" option in "Database Character Set / Collation". There are just "UTF-8" and "Latin1" options. Then I didn't change anythink and save the database settings. Something wrong as below: Database does not exist.

If you're going to tell zc_install that your database-name is "zencart", then you need to create a database named "zencart" in your Wampserver control panel.

Thanks a lot. I made it.
