Maybe you should make this a sticky? Or have some info kind of FAQ for localhost testers?
This worked for me on Windows 7 with WAMP:
1. Put the .htaccess file in the root of GetSimple
2. Modify your .htaccess by replacing it with this:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
3. Delete lines 42-56 from the /admin/inc/functions.php
4. Click on WAMP Server in your taskbar (bottom right corner) then go to Apache=>Apache Modules=>rewrite_module(make sure this is checked)
5. Restart WAMP
That worked for me hope it works for whoever needs assistance.
