well having built several sites directly to online servers, I finally got around to installing WAMP in my machine (64bit vista), but it seems it wasn't as strait forward as I was expecting.
Installing WAMP 2.0 is fine, everything works and I get the index page.
I also get the SS install screen, and once 'rewrite_module' is checked in the apache settings I am able to run the SS install.
However after about a minuite I get the mod_rewrite failure screen......or I get the 'Maximum execution time exceeded'.
I have also tried this on my laptop (32bit vista) with exactly the same result . Am I missing something here?
Cheers :)
