If you compiled PHP yourself be sure you made a release build, not a debug build (which VS does by default). Debug builds require DLLs that aren't in the MS redistributables available in the link Elizabeth gave you. -eb- Well i think that im compiling a release build but im not sure , in the configure phase i didnt add --enable-debug is that sufficient to make a release build?

Ah, I see. The PHP build process uses the command line and, as far as I can determine, unless you specify a "debug" build you'll get a release build. To be sure, did you obtain the php executable(s) you're running from a file path with the word "release" in it somewhere? If so, my original suggestion is of no help. Since you have Visual Studio available, you have an excellent tool available to use to track down missing dependencies. In <visual studio install folder>\Common7\Tools\Bin, locate depends.exe and depends.dll. Copy these files to the computer exhibiting the error and run depends.exe (it's a GUI app); it calls itself Dependency Walker. Open php.exe (or php-win.exe; whatever the PHP executable is called) and look in the bottom pane for any messages about modules not found. With luck this will tell you exactly what's missing. -eb-
