Description:
------------
Hey guys, I have been trying to install PHP 5.2.17 and 5.3.5 to a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 Using VC6 for Apache and VC9 for IIS and in both cases it fails to load extensions saying they are not win32 valid applications. Not all extensions have this problem, the ones I'm trying to load are:

LDAP
MySQL
PDO_MySQL

And a few others I don't remember, but those are the most important to my interests.

The closest I got was a MySQLng extension loaded using 5.3.5, but the PHP application I'm using does not recognize this one as MySQL and I get stuck.

I don't know if this will involve the refactor of the msi files to 64-bit installation files.

I even tried using the ZIP files and even though it works better, it still doesn't load several extensions.

Thanks for anything you can do about this.

Expected result:
----------------
Extensions to load on a 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2

Try in CLI and double read the error messages. You are certainly missing some DLLs 
in your PATH.

I thought of that too, but all the DLLs are in place but when I check the error log for Apache it gives me the error I posted before.

I forgot to say, I also checked using php -m to check for missing dlls but it gave me no errors
