Installing WordPress to computer with DesktopServer

I'm doing the 'Install Wordpress to your computer' tutorial and am having a lot of problems installing DesktopServer. It always freezes and/or has to shutdown at some point during the install.

You could try installing a different version, what version of the OS are you running vs. the version of Wordpress?

thanks for for your help. I'm running OSX El Capitan 10.11.6, and I tried every version of DesktopServer that is compatible with my OS.

I'm not sure where you got DesktopServer but it looks like it's closed source. If it were open source, I would say just re-compile the source under your OS to get it to work. You might contact the S/W provider and see if you need a custom build.
