Trying to save some time by installing a pre-configured WAMP environment (Windows Apache MySQL and PHP).

I downloaded the latest Bitnami WAMPStack and found that it didn't have php_dbase.dll in the $PHP_DIR/ext/ dir.

A planned retreat worked.

This version has php_dbase.dll in it. It is PHP 5.2
bitnami-wampstack-1.2-5-windows-installer.exe

This one doesn't. It is PHP 5.3.8
bitnami-wampstack-5.3.8-0-windows-installer.exe
