Not able to launch WAMP – Aestan Tray Menu has stopped working

You may encounter this when setting up a new PC or someone else's PC.

Attempt one may lead to missing C++ redistributables. I recommend downloading all of them. If you get that issue, you will get some MSVCR100.dll file issue.

Attempt two would be reinstalling Wamp again after some weird symptoms. The system tray icon might be broken. Reinstalling won't fix, rabbit hole.

SOLUTION

1. Uninstall Wamp
2. Right click the Wamp install.exe RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR.

Mine is working now. Mine also popped up a firewall alert which it didnt before, so the admin thing seemed to really kick it along.

I'm almost 100% sure this is the FBML settings, check both of these settings for the app are not set to FBML - unless you can give us the App ID to check, nobody can give an absolutely 100% sure answer

1) On the 'advanced' tab, the setting for 'canvas mode' - this will not appear for apps created after March 2011

2) There was a setting for 'Page Tab iframe' in the 'Migrations' setting of the Advanced Tab. This controls whether or not FBML is used with the page tabs of your app - if set to disabled, the app is still using FBML for its page tabs

You can also check second setting via the API, for my example app there, the canvas setting can be retrieved via a call to /APPLICATION_ID/?fields=migrations&access_token=APP_ACCESS_TOKEN

The return value is a structure of the migrations the app can set and their values:

{
  "migrations": {
    "secure_stream_urls": false, 
    "expiring_offline_access_tokens": false, 
    "december_rollup": false, 
    "page_tab_iframe": false, 
    //[ SNIPPED OTHER MIGRATIONS ]
  }, 
  "id": " // SNIPPED APP ID", 
  "type": "application"
}
