Specific release of the WAMP stack for Windows.

This tag should be used when referring to the WAMP server stack WampServer. This is a bundled release of Apache, MySQL, and PHP for Windows. It allows you to easily setup a development environment for web applications and comes with PHPMyAdmin to manage databases. One unique thing about WampServer is that it allows you to download, install and activate older releases of Apache, MySQL, and PHP. This makes it possible to duplicate production servers.
