 * When I try to install wordpress into WAMP. I have done this is the past with 
   no issues. Its the same installation of WAMP I’v been using for months and never
   had issues until now.

 * Hi AntzTech,
 * are you trying to do a fresh install on your WAMP server or is it already an 
   existing copy of wordpress?
 * what are the credential you are using upon install? Can you confirm that they
   are the same and that you didn’t change any database credentials?
 * which database are you installing it to? can you try to append a new prefix and
   see if the installation continues.

 * I already tried doing a fresh install of WAMP and re-download wordpress. I tried
   multiple prefix and that didn’t help either. I also tried changing it from the
   default collation of latin1_swedish_ci to utf8_general_ci and that didn’t help
   as well. I tried the install with Ampps and it work fine so it seem the issue
   was with the current installation of WAMP. I tried running the installation with
   the same set of file on a friend’s computer and went through smoothly.
 * Thanks for the help though.
