VC2010-WAMP fails to start OCI extension - wamp

Installed Last version of WAMP 2.2E 32bit on XP 32bit SP3 with VC 2010 redist.
Installation completed successfully.
But turning on the OCI8 and OCI8-11 extension fails by showing module not found !
Tried to copy the 2 dll files to SYSTEM32 and WINDOWS folder, still stuck. Though WAMP works perfectly except unable to use OCI functions.
XP Pro XP SP3 32bit
VC10 SP1 vcredist_x86.exe 32 bit
Wampserver (32 bits & PHP 5.3) 2.2E

Have a read of this page in the manual. PHP OCI8 Installation requirements
Basicall you need to install some Oracle bits on the Client for these php_oci dlls to interface to.

Why does the latest WDK not support Windows 7 by default?

I downloaded driver which targets Windows 7 (has option "TargetVersion" == "Windows 7" in ".vcxproj"). Also I installed Visual Studio 2022 Community, the latest SDK and DDK (for Windows 11) to compile it.
When I press "Build solution", I get error:
Windows7 is not a supported OS Version
I'm going to open file:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\build\10.0.22621.0\WindowsDriver.Common.targets
and comment the following line:
<Error Text=" '$(TargetVersion)' is not a supported OS Version"
Condition="'$(WindowsTargetPlatformVersion)' > '$(TargetPlatformVersion_CO)' and '$(TargetVersion)' !='$(LatestTargetVersion)' " />
Then trying to compile again.. and voila - everything works. Meaning driver works well for all operation systems up to Windows 10.
I do understand I'm doing wrong. So, my questions are:
Why don't Visual Studio developers let us build drivers for Windows 7 if everything works?
What is the correct way to build drivers for all operating systems, starting with Windows 7?
Added later:
I think maybe, for example, latest WDK has more API functions which are missing in Windows 7. It turns out that if we code carefully, checking all calls for compatibility, then there should be no problems with compilation.
Per this page:
To target Windows 8.1, Windows 8, and Windows 7, you will need to
install an older WDK and an older version of Visual Studio either on
the same machine or on a separate machine. For links to older kits,
see Other WDK downloads.
Question #1 - you better ask Microsoft.
Question #2 - you can install multiple SDK and WDK versions side by side. To target Windows 7, install Windows 8.1 SDK and WDK.

Registering C++ DLL on 64-bit machine

I have a C++ DLL that I wrote that is failing to register on a 64-bit machine. Note the 32-bit version of the DLL registers on a 32-bit machine.
We build the DLL on a 64-bit Windows 7 computer using Visual Studio 2010 in Release mode and target the x64 platform. I want to install the DLL on a 64-bit Windows 10 computer (destination). The destination computer has the VS 2010 redist installed for 64-bit. When I try to register the program using:
C:\windows\system32\regsvr32.exe
It fails and says that the program "may not be compatible with this version of Windows that you're running. Check if the module is compatible with an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of regsvr32.exe".
I use the program called Dependencies that tries to figure out what dependencies the DLL requires. Dependencies says that my DLL requires ATL100.dll. However, this is installed by the VS 2010 redist and is indeed located in C:\windows\system32. The DLL itself does not depend on any third-party programs.
Does anyone have any ideas to what to look for next to get this file registered?
I figured it out. I had to uninstall the 64-bit and 32-bit VS 2010 redist . Delete the ATL100.dll out of the C:\windows\system32 and syswow64 directories and reboot the computer. After the reboot I reinstalled both redist installers. Then I was able to register the file from an administrative command prompt.
Maybe something we installed installed the ATL100.dll file and when I installed the 64-bit redist it did not overwrite the ATL100.dll. Leaving a outdated version installed.

WAMP Navigator Config Issue [duplicate]

I try to install wampserver3.0.6_x64 and I get the following message
the program can't start because api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer
I have installed all the things
I read in StackOverflow that I need to install Universal C Runtime, but I can't install this.
I'd love to know how to fix it.
UPDATE:
Simplest Solution
Download a full set of MSVC runtimes from the WAMPServer alternate repo which can be found here Look at the bottom of the page, there is a download called All Visual C++ Redistribuable Packages (x86) (32bits) or All Visual C++ Redistribuable Packages (x86_x64) (32 & 64bits)
This will download a ZIP file containing all the possible required MSVC Runtime library installers. UnZip the file and run all the installers it exposes, in a logical order from lowest version to highest, one at a time.
I notice from your pictures that you have not installed any of the prerequisite MSVC Runtime libraries mentioned in the WAMPServer install process. So you will need to read this carefully and make sure your OS is fully capable of running any version of APache/MYSQL & PHP that can be installed with WAMPServer.
Before running a WAMPServer install, you must read these prerequisites:
BEFORE proceeding with an installation of Wampserver, you must ensure that you have current versions of all these Microsoft C/C++ Runtime Libraries, if you do not check and install any missing libraries before you install Wampserver it will not install correctly and will not run correctly!
If you installed WAMPServer without paying attention to the install Dialog specifying these pre-requisites your installation will be faulty and you will need to remove Wampserver BEFORE installing any missing Runtime Libraries. and then re-install WAMPServer when all runtimes are installed.
Make sure your system has "up to date" versions of ALL these redistributable packages:-
Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2008 (VC9),
Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2010 (VC10),
Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2012 (VC11),
Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2013 (VC13),
Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2015 (VC14),
Microsoft Visual C/C++ Redistributable 2017 (VC15)
BIG NOTE:
If you are running a 64bit Windows, it is recommended to install both the 32bit and 64bit versions of these runtime libraries. Remember Windows 64bit can run 32bit code and also it is possible to install either a 32bit or 64 bit WAMPServer on a 64bit Windows OS.
If you are running Window pre windows 10, and you are running a component that uses Apache/Mysql/PHP compiled with MSVC 2015(VC14) you will also need to install the Universal C Runtime This can be download via the standard Windows Update according to this document on the microsoft site
---- Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows
Links to all these redistributables can be found later in this post to assist you in finding and installing them.
Suggestion:
Please download each one individually and then complete it's install before downloading the next. The filenames of the downloaded installers are almost always the same regardless of version, it is easy to get confused and miss one out.
Check in Control Panel -> Programs and Features that they are all installed before proceeding to install WAMPServer.

The following packages (VC9, VC10, VC11) are required for Wampserver 2.4, 2.5 and 3 even if you use only Apache and PHP versions VC11.
VC14 is required for Apache version 2.4.17 (or greater) and for PHP 7.

Oh man, my customer has win7 and never updated. Took long time to run. Be careful people, you need SP1 on windows7 to install necessary vc packages

wamp doesn't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing

When I start Wampserver 3.0.0 I get the message "wamp can't start because MSVCR110.dll is missing", this is despite my having downloaded vcredist_x64 (Microsoft Visual C++ 2012 Redistributable x64) from Microsoft site for my 64 bit machine and having installed it. Any suggestion as to what else I should do?
You have not followed the prerequisites that are displayed BEFORE installation begins. You have not read and validated Next. Yet the text is very explicit
--- Installation of Wampserver ---
BEFORE proceeding with the installation of Wampserver, you must ensure that certain elements are installed on your system, otherwise Wampserver will absolutely not run, and in addition, the installation will be faulty and you need to remove Wampserver BEFORE installing the elements that were missing.
Make sure you are "up to date" in the redistributable packages VC9, VC10, VC11, VC13 and VC14
Even if you think you are up to date, install each package as administrator and if message "Already installed", validate Repair.
The following packages (VC9, VC10, VC11) are imperatively required to Wampserver 2.4, 2.5 and 3.0, even if you use only Apache and PHP versions VC11 and VC14 is required for PHP 7 and Apache 2.4.17

C++ Windows Shell Extensions - Win7 32bit - 64bit compatibility issues

i have visual studio 2005 and i am writing a shell extension for windows explorer.
It works in Windows Vista 32bit where i compile the project.
It also works on Windows 7 64bit when the project has been compiled on Windows7 64bit.
Now i want to test it also on Windows 7 32bit when the project has been compiled on Windows Vista 32bit but it does not work !
Are there compatibility issues between c++ versions ?
The shell extension dll won't register. (side by side error).
Is it necessary to compile it on Windows 7 32bit to make it work ?
My dll is based on the example of "complete idiot's guide to writing shell extensions" on codeproject.com
Thanks !
it should not be compiled in debug mode but only in release mode.
also in a frequent example on the internet there is a bug and the int should get
converted to IntPtr...
