grrr, github still won't let me comment on issues.
anyway, the answer to that issue is easy, by default, the php setting 'short open tags' is not turned on in wampserver.
if you click on the wampserver icon in the system tray, and then click on 'PHP' and then go to 'PHP Settings', it should be the 2nd open from the top, click on that and then pyrocms will work.
