title: Corrupt Wampserver - how to recover?
body: <p>My laptop crashed this morning after which the wampmanager.ini was corrupted. I found out how to resolve that by pasting in a replacement and ensuring that this line pointed to the correct directories:</p>
  
  <p>Action: run; FileName: “c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/php-win.exe”;Parameters: “refresh.php”;WorkingDir: “c:/wamp/scripts”; Flags: waituntilterminated</p>
  
  <p>However, I still get an error "Exception Eception in module wampmanager.exe at 000F15A0. Could not execute run action: The directory name is invalid.</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/bJbcn.png" alt="Error Message"></p>
  
  <p>I have check: “c:/wamp/bin/php/php5.4.3/php-win.exe” and “c:/wamp/scripts”. I even pasted them into the address line at the top of the page to make sure and they were found.</p>
  
  <p>What are my options please?</p>
  
  <p>Can I run a repair?
  Is it just quicker to reinstall?
  If I reinstall which directories do I need to copy in order to save my database?</p>
  
  <p>I do not know much about this so if you can be specific please that would be very much appreciated (e.g., full file paths where possible).</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>

  <p>Now I need to work out whether I am using WampServer 32 bit or 64 bit. How do I do this please?</p>
