Thanks, Daniel Thanks, I looked at that one before too. This is a high use production site, so after we reinstall OS, I am going to install full versions of all 3. I can't find any info on the WAMP site about limitations or security issues like I found on Xampp, but after this last go-round, I am not interested in "lite" or tweaked versions just so it installs easier. The question here was more in regards to Windows Webserver edition issues, if any. I can't seem to find any online, so I am surmising it is just a corrupt install at this point.
