VC2015-2019 (VC16) is backward compatible to VC2015 (VC14) and VC2017 (VC15). That
means, a VC14 or VC15 module can be used inside a VC16 binary. Because this
compatibility the version number of the Redistributable is 14.2x.xx and after you
install the Redistributable VC2015-2019, the Redistributable packages VC2015 (VC14)
and VC2017 (VC15) are eventually deleted but you can still use VC14 and VC15.

If you have a 64-bit Windows, you must install both 32 and 64bit versions, even if
you do not use Wampserver 64 bit.

------ After Installation ------


--- PhpMyAdmin
When starting phpMyAdmin, you will be asked for a user name and password.
After installing Wampserver 3, the default username is "root" (without quotes) and
there is no password, which means that you must leave the form Password box empty.
There will be a warning:
You are connected as 'root' with no password, which corresponds to the default
MySQL privileged account. Your MySQL server is running with this default, is open
to intrusion, and you really should fix this security hole by setting a password
for user 'root'.
This is not a problem as long as access to Phpmyadmin remain locally.
However, some web applications or CMS asking that the MySQL user has a password. In
which case, you will create a user with password via the PhpMyAdmin Accounts Users
tab.
