Before you install Wamp!
If already installed, then UNINSTALL WAMP(you can backup folders WWW and BIN>mysql>data), and install MS PACKAGES at first:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package !
( or 2010 or 2012 version..
in some cases, maybe .Net Framework is needed too?))
After that, install WAMP!

A few things to check:
- Have you installed the services? It can be a little temperamental the tray, but look for an install services batch file. This will get the apache and mysql services running
- Is your configuration OK? Particularly, check apache's config with
httpd -ton the command line (make sure that you're in the apache/bin folder if httpd isn't in your path) - Have you got the correct version (32bit versus 64bit)?
- Have you checked your wamp error logs?
- Have you got the pre-requisites installed, such as the Microsoft VC++ redistributable?
If you're still having trouble, checkout the official forum (such as this post http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,53095) and post there for some decent help.

Click the Aestran tray, scroll to Apache, then click httpd.conf, which will open the config file in an editor. What error do you get when you run `httpd -t`?\ – LeonardChallis Jan 29 '13 at 19:35

Try to install .Net framework Latest version. Link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21 Before Installing WAMP make sure that you uninstalled old versions.
