If you don't do this, you'll run into a rather cryptic error message, VCRUNTIME140.DLL was not found, and php commands won't work. Install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-this is linked in the sidebar of the PHP for Windows Download page, but it's kind of hidden.Note that many parts of this process were learned from the concise article Install PHP7 and Composer on Windows 10 from the website KIZU 514. Since I finally spent a little time getting the official version of PHP for native Windows installed, I figured I'd document the process here. However, on Windows there seem to crop up little issues here and there. For macOS and Linux, getting PHP and Composer installed is fairly quick and easy. I am working a lot on Composer-based Drupal projects lately (especially gearing up for DrupalCon Nashville and my joint workshop on Drupal and Composer with Matthew Grasmick), and have been trying to come up with the simplest solutions that work across macOS, Linux, and Windows.
