My questions:
I just updated Wampserver to version 3.3.1. Followed instructions as carefully as possible and all appears to be good, i.e., the tray icon is green.
Before I get into a big mess I need some clarification on next steps before I start building out my new virtual hosts. I tried searching for answers before writing this message. Results were not helpful for my situation.
1. Should I still have to update xDebug, Language files, and the Aestan Tray menu or were these included in the Wampserver update?
2. Should I go ahead and add the latest 64-bit versions of PhpMyAdmin, Adminer, PhpSysInfo, Apache, PHP, and MySQL? (I am not using MariaDB.)
3. Checks VC++ packages installed. Didn't notice this when I did the Wampserver update. Should I run this before doing anything further just to be sure all is well? I haven't created any virtual hosts yet so if I need to check my VC++ packages, I assume now is the best time even if it means reinstalling the Wampserver update. NOTE: I did have some virtual hosts setup under Wampserver prior to the update but successfully removed them all (following the correct steps outlined elsewhere in this forum).
