WAMP server on WIndows 10 installation problems

On my new 64 bits Windows 10 system I'm trying to get WAMP server running. However, no such luck.

[05-Apr-2016 08:43:34 UTC] PHP Warning:  chmod(): Permission denied in C:\wamp\scripts\config.inc.php on line 68
[05-Apr-2016 08:43:34 UTC] Impossible to modify the file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts to be writable
[05-Apr-2016 08:43:34 UTC] The file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts is not writable

I instructed Windows to not startup IIS, and instructed my anti virus software to not lock hosts. Both did not resolve my problem. What other options do I have?

You forgot to provide Admin Privileges to WAMP Server during installation as well as during launch.Its important to Install with the "Run as administrator" option. Also change write access in folder

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\host

.
