MsgPack TS non TS fail

[DevHeaven]

Hello

I know this isn't a support forum but I'm at the end, can't seem to find a solution no matter what I try.

I've tried setting up MsgPack on my local machine (Windows 10 , PHP 8.1.9)
I've downloaded multiple versions of the DLL from https://pecl.php.net/package/msgpack/2.1.2/windows

But no matter which I try (TS, no-TS, x86 , x64 ...) I always get an error trying to execute a PHP script.

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'php_msgpack.dll' (tried: ext\php_msgpack.dll (The specified module could not be found), ext\php_php_msgpack.dll.dll (The specified module could not be found)) in Unknown on line 0

If there's anybody with a golden tip, I'd appreciate it soo much!

I can't really help on Windows, but here are some hints anyway:
The error message says it cannot find the file "php_msgpack.dll", so:

• Is the file name right?
• Do you load other extensions dynamically?
• Where are they located?
• Is the msgpack extension in the same directory?

@m6w6 Thank you nonetheless for your response !

The filename is correct, and it is in the /ext folder.
I load several other extensions like rdkafka etcetera which work fine.
All extensions are in my C:\PHP8\EXT folder

I would expect such a message when trying a non compatible dll for the specific OS and version , but this doesn't seem to be the case here.

PS : when trying the latest PHP 8. version for Threadsafe X64 (which is my machine version of PHP) I get a dialogue error

The procedure entry point zval_get_long_func@88 could not be located in the dynamic link library

Not sure, but reading your initial comment again, I noticed you're running 8.1 and probably downloaded the extension for 8.0.

Try the 8.1 from here: https://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/msgpack/2.2.0rc1/
