Fresh Grav Installation on Windows doesn't seem to find the ZIP-Module

Hi,

I did a fresh install on my Windows Machine for a Getting Started and see what can be done.

I got greeted with a Start-Up Page which shows one missing Module:

PHP Zip extension is required but not installed

But PHP (Version 8.4.2 / php.exe -ini) itself shows this:

zip

Zip => enabled
Zip version => 1.22.4
Libzip version => 1.11.2
BZIP2 compression => Yes
XZ compression => Yes
ZSTD compression => No
AES-128 encryption => Yes
AES-192 encryption => Yes
AES-256 encryption => Yes

The Grav Code for this looks like this:

// Check for PHP Zip library
$msg = ‘PHP Zip extension is %s installed’;
if (extension_loaded(‘zip’)) {
$modules_success[‘zip’] = sprintf($msg, ‘successfully’);
} else {
$modules_errors[‘zip’] = sprintf($msg, ‘required but not’);
}

But when I call this function in CLI then I get this:

C:\Users\User>php -r “print extension_loaded(‘zip’);”

And this is the only PHP Version installed on my Machine.

What could be the Issue with this?

Okay, it seems that it has resolved itself after a Machine Restart.
