Installing Wordpress 2.2.1 on Windows 8.1

Question

I'm trying to install a site with Wordpress 2.2.1 on a PC with Windows 8.1, I get a bunch of errors telling me that several functions are deprecated. What is the best way of achieving this, do I install a older version of wamp? or will I have to install windows xp or vista?

Any help would be appreciated.

Tip, it is your PHP version. But I wouldn't recommand to use the old deprecated version of PHP nor Wordpress. — Ron van der Heijden, Mar 30 '15 at 12:49
Thank you, I wouldn't use it too but there's an old site I need to get data from it — chandan, Mar 30 '15 at 13:01

You need to upgrade your localhost/localserver (WAMP). It must have php 5.5 or greater.

He's trying to install an very old WordPress, so he has to download a very old version of WAMP for that – Niels van Renselaar Mar 30 '15 at 12:49
but this site was online during 2007 so maybe I though it should have lower versions of PHP – chandan Mar 30 '15 at 12:50
wp2.21 is compatible with php 5.5 because newer version supports older version. :-) – Umair Hamid Mar 30 '15 at 12:51
