For native Windows binaries, WampServer 861,070 is the bundle that is still maintained; download it from wampserver.aviatechno.net (https://wampserver.aviatechno.net/ 861,070 ), the maintainer's file site. The full installer is 3.4.0 (with the cumulative 3.4.2 update to its tray manager): Apache 2.4.65 129 , PHP 8.0.30 to 8.5.0 side by side, MySQL 8.4.7 524 , MariaDB 11.4.9 3,681 , phpMyAdmin 5.2.3 5,104 and Adminer 5.4.1 21,590 . Add-ons move those forward; on 23 September 2026 they included Apache 2.4.68.3, PHP 8.5.10, MySQL 9.7.2 LTS and MariaDB 13.0.2, enough to match this book's versions.
It is 64-bit only, for Windows 10 and 11. Install every Visual C++ redistributable the site lists first (14.51.36247 or later for the newest Apache add-on), since a missing one is the usual reason Apache will not start. It is still Windows underneath, so test anything you will deploy on Linux.
