i really don't know what i could have done to create this problem, because i didn't modified configuration files.
the error messages also says "re-installing the application may fix this problem", so i first reinstalled the application and the problem wasn't solved,then i uninstalled-deleted any php files and directories-rebooted-and-installed,then i tried uninstalling and installing in a new-named directory, then i tried to check environment variables add-and-remove them, and i tried so many times i don't remember all tries i did (always rebooting), but the problems is still unsolved.

my php.ini extension_dir is:

extension_dir ="C:\Program Files\PHP\ext"

and all windows extensions directives are disabled.
Any idea to solve my problem??
Thank you very much!
Regards
Alessandro

1. Did you add the main c:\Program Files\PHP directory to your system's PATH environment variable?

2. Did you read this bit on the manual page [man]install.windows.manual]:

   If you are installing PHP 5, extract to C:\php as the zip file doesn't expand as in PHP 4. You may choose a different location but do not have spaces in the path (like C:\Program Files\PHP) as some web servers will crash if you do.

3. Is there really a need to load that many extensions? Do you honestly need all of them? I know there is an ordering issue (some have to be loaded before others), so try starting with just the extensions you need (or just one) and add an extension, one by one, to make sure it's not the ordering that's throwing things off.

4. Shows that mbstring is already loaded... are you sure there aren't duplicate 'extesion=' lines in your config file?
