Missing php-zip

[RichardIstSauer]

Hello, I started Heimdall with IIS + PHP and I get the message 'You are missing php-zip'. I already tried enabling the extension, but it changed nothing. Someone had the same problem here: #1368

Hey RichardIstSauer,

That error usually means the php-zip extension isn’t actually loading, even if it’s been enabled in php.ini. Double-check that the line extension=zip is uncommented under the correct PHP version folder, and restart IIS after saving. PHP on Windows can be a bit picky with extension paths, so make sure the ext directory is properly referenced in your php.ini too.

If you’d rather not deal with manual configuration every time, our AccuWeb Cloud PHP environment might be worth checking out. You also get SSH access, Git integration, and CI/CD pipelines built-in, so it’s dev-ready from the start.

Basically, no missing extensions, no config headaches — just deploy and code.

Cheers!
