I almost have it. I installed mysql, php and apache. Both apache and mysql seem to be working correctly, but
not php. I don't know where I got that wrong. It is the same as before: seeing the code instead of the
install page. Ideas welcome while I tinker...

I agree that mismatched components defeats the purpose of a stack. I don't really know what is going on here.
There was a link to a mysql forum thread about how to downgrade mysql to make it compatible with php, but a lot
of the comments talked about just changing passwords. That's what I was hoping to accomplish in
phpmyadmin. After I did that, as I say it connected to the database, but then I got this same error. You asked
about the output of MW, well, that was it. So I refreshed and then I was right back at the link that takes you to
set up the first time, so clearly it did not install.
John Durant on this thread suggested starting over, not using a stack, and deleting any AMP files in
add/remove programs and also in the registry. The only AMP files in my registry were old tomcat files from
some program I was testing that needed them. I have deleted them. I suspect the reason no other AMP shows up
is a function of how the stack was put together. I did not see WAMP in either add.remove programs or the registry.
