Answer 1

you need to enable the openssl extension in

C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.4.12\php.ini 

that is the php configuration file that has it type has "configuration settings" with a driver-notepad like icon.

1. open it either with notepad or any editor,
2. search for openssl "your ctrl + F " would do.

3. there is a semi-colon before the openssl extension

   ;extension=php_openssl.dll
   

   remove the semi-colon and you'll have

   extension=php_openssl.dll
   

4. save the file and restart your WAMP server after that you're good to go. re-install the application again that should work.
