Unable to upgrade PHP version
Hi! I am facing issue in XAMPP/WAMP/MAMP each time I try to upgrade my server app to the latest PHP version say 7.0/7.1/7.2 any of those my system through error saying missing api-ms-win-crt-runtime-|1-1-0.dll
My current PHP version is 5.6.32 and am forced in using that. I tried several methods on the internet says Install Updates or get a VC++ that too didn't worked
Only thing which is working is just the php 5.6.32 and am forced to use that older version.
I manually tried to update php and start a server through command line but that too is giving me same error.
So need your advice and guidance. I hope anyone can help me in this matter.
OS: WIndows 7 64bit
Thanks :)

What program are you using for your local server? You mentioned 3 in your original post. Are you using all three?
Level 8
currently am using XAMPP, but tried MAMP and WAMP as well but getting same error on all three, Right now am using XAMPP with PHP version 5.6.32

I believe the newest XAMPP comes with PHP 7.2 bundled. Did you tried installing the latest version from their website? (After removing the previous one)
Level 8
yeah, removed the previous one, restarted the system installed XAMPP with PHP 7.2.5, and still getting the same dll missing error

I believe you are missing some of Microsft VCx packages. Visit this link for some more info: http://forum.wampserver.com/read.php?2,138295 (It's about WAMP but should apply to XAMPP aswell)

If you go to the xampp site, they are going to have a system requirements section. You need to read that.

@mcangueiro thanks mate, was missing this Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2017 x64 for my system. Thanks that link helped.
