#39913 [Fbk->Csd]: Installer does not work on x64

ID: 39913 Updated by: jmertic@php.net Reported By: torsten at vip dot cybercity dot dk -Status: Feedback +Status: Closed Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Operating System: Windows XP Professional x64 PHP Version: 5.2.0 Assigned To: jmertic New Comment: Missing quotes fixed in CVS (Bug #39716). I cannot replicate the changing install path on Windows XP Professional ( non-x64 ). I don't have an x64 bit version to test on, but it sounds like something specific to that version. It seems the error message you get is from PHP thinking it's getting installed in one place, but Windows thinking another. Changing the extension_dir directive to the correct path should fix it. mbstring is automatically installed when choosing to install exif currently.

After installation, PHP fails with a syntax error because the value of "extension_dir" is not quoted. Uninstall and reinstall, being careful to select "D:\Program Files\PHP" as install path. When you get to the "Choose Items to Install" screen, the path still appears as "\Program Files (x86)\PHP". Click Browse, navigate to "\Program Files\PHP". The dialog still shows the "(x86)" path, and indeed the installation is performed to that path. Moved installation to desired path, hacked the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\PHP\InstallDir. When invoking php.exe from the command line, I get PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'D:\Program Files\PHP\ ext\php_exif.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0 etc., although the file is there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=39913&edit=1
