Requirements

Windows XP or Vista

All the dependencies needed to run ProcessMaker are bundled in the easy-to-install BitRock WAMP (Windows/Apache/MySQL/PHP) stack, including Apache 2.2.8, PHP 5.25, and MySQL 5.0.

NOTE 1: If you have installed VMWare in your computer it is recommendable to disable the VMWare Network Connection during the ProcessMaker Installation. See How to disable Network Connection for additional instructions.

How to disable your VMWare Network Connections

During the installation it is recommendable to disable your VMWare Network Connections, because they can produce a conflict. To do that please

Open the Panel Control --> Network Connections
Disable every Connection that is not related with your LAN Ethernet Adapter. Right click on the connection icon and choose the option "Disable" from the pop-up menu
After that execute the ProcessMaker installer.
Once you finish the installation, you could enable the network adapters again (Open Panel Control --> Open Network Connections --> Right click on the connection icon --> choose the option "Enable" from the pop-up menu)
