WAMP and XAMPP are different products, you will likely have to set lower_case_table_names in the my.cnf for other products; it all depends on where they check for server configuration options.
For note, UBB.threads assumes you're on a fully functional web server with default modules enabled; other than that, the configuration of servers and development servers is well out of the scope of support... We simply help where we can, and don't hold all of the answers for every piece of software.
