I'm getting this error after having installed Magento 1.6.1 and wampserver 2.2 (64 bit)

The magento index/homepage wil1 display Ok but when i try and access the admin back-end I get the following error ??

Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_setopt() in C:\vhosts\perform-play\magento\lib\Varien\Http\Adapter\Curl.php on line 52

OS Windows 7 64bit

Any Ideas , I've unistalled and re-installed the wampserver ??

Thanks in advance

I don't have Wampserver 2.2 installed yet, but in 2.0 I need to enable Curl support by going to PHP->PHP Extensions->php_curl in the Aestan tray menu.

(I suspect I'll be doing a Wampserver 2.2 and Magento 1.6.x install myself in the near future!)

Have same problem on Wamp and XAMPP., nearly give up. Finally find the solution, Magento 1.6 can not work properly with WAMP 2.1 and XMAPP 1.7, I guess it caused by Mysql version, not sure. but after I change WAMP to 2.0 i, everything is fine. Magento 1.6 is running well. Download WAMP2.0i : http://sourceforge.net/projects/wampserver/files/WampServer%202/WampServer%202.0/WampServer2.0i.exe/download

I failed to install it on Chrome, but success on firefox.

Good Luck.
