Note: I am a Drupal Newbie. Two weeks before I tried this installation on WampServer, I did a Manual installation of Drupal 7.12, in a cPanel Shared server, without any issues. That test site is running properly, with the Adaptive Theme and with several contrib modules.
Last night, I installed WampServer 2.2 on a M$ Windows XP legacy box. Then, I tried to install Drupal 7.12. I got the below error, at the end of the Drupal installation script. If there is a simple way for me to get around this error message, please let me know what I need to do.
Thank you! Lanny
I would like to attach to this post the entity.inc file mentioned in the error
message at the end of the Drupal installation on WampServer on 10
March 2012, but I do not seem to have the option to attach a file to this post.
This is the error message I got, at the end of the Drupal 7.12
installation on WampServer 2.2 on 10 March 2012.

seems this can occur for a variety of reasons, searching the issue queue found: #1171756: Fatal error: Call to undefined function field_attach_load() - prevent installer from continuing through a failed installation which has lots of info.
If you would like to try DAMP instead of WAMP
This is a 'absolute-beginner's tutorial page for installing DAMP (for Windows / MAC).
DAMP comes from the commercial site aquia.com;
a site at which Drupal's creator Dries Buytaert is the
Chief Technical Officer.

@WorldFallz Thank you, for providing that link! Obviously, I am not the first person to run into this issue, and I suspect it will be awhile before it is resolved.
@Christopher Jam Thank you for suggesting DAMP. Prior to reading your reply to my post, I had read your tutorial (probably several times) and I watched 1 or 2 videos about installing DAMP. I am going to nuke the WampServer installation and then give DAMP a try.
fixes for this class of issue
For future readers of this thread:
I have researched this and related issues - often collectively referred to as "The 31 Tables Problem", because it interrupts the table creation process before all 73 or so tables are loaded. See this comment for a semi-exhaustive list of things that have helped people work through this issue. If your fix does not appear in my list, contact me and I will add it to the comment.
