I'm trying to install composer and I get this error - composer-php

The PHP exe file you specified did not run correctly:
C:\xampp\php\php.exe
The program failed to run correctly. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem. Make sure you have installed the appropriate Visual C++ Redistributable. I have Visual C++ Redistributable installed. I have even modified the php.ini file but still I can't install composer.

How to install ZeroMQ on Windows 10?

I need to install ZeroMQ (libzmq) on windows 10 which is running on a VirtualBox. On their official website there are zip files for Visual Studio but on their github they mentioned that Windows10 is not supported.
I downloaded the zip file of "Visual Studio 15 2017 x64" and also installed cygwin and cmake but when I try to install it via cmake I get: The source directory does not appear to contain CMakeList.txt. This is true but there is a zmq.h inside that directory which I thought I should install via cmake. I also tried make exactly how I do it in linux with C files but that one also didn't work.
I have to mention that I don't want to use the ZMQ in Visual Studio. I need to connect a python program running in the host linux to Metatrader via ZMQ and the method that I am following (https://github.com/darwinex/DarwinexLabs/tree/master/tools/dwx_zeromq_connector/v2.0.1#installation) needs libzmq to be installed.
Can someone please help me with installing ZMQ on Windows10 either via cmake or Visual Studio?

MSVCP120.dll missing

I compiled and linked an executable file in VS2013, and then tried to run that exe on another computer.
I get this error on the other computer:
I read on this problem, and I saw I need to download VS2013 on the other computer to be able to execute this file.
But what is the point in exe file if I need to download a VS2013 on any computer I want to run it on?
Is there any normal way to execute it through the visual without go through this problem?
The MSVCP120.dll is part of the Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable package. Download and install it on the other PCs to get the program working or link the required lib via static linking.

npm config set C compiler not to vcbuild.exe

When trying to npm install a node project in a Windows7 machine I am suffering from the inglorious error message:
MSBUILD : error MSB3428: Could not load the Visual C++ component "VCBuild.exe". To fix this, 1) install the .NET Framework 2.0 SDK, 2) install Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 or 3) add the location of the component to the system path if it is installed elsewhere.
Because I am under Cygwin I have already installed gcc ($ gcc -v and $ g++ -v respond in both Cygwin and cmd).
How can I tell npm to use gcc to compile instead of the vcbuild.exe that I don't have installed?
Note: I have already tried node-gyp and it did not work.
Note2: I know for sure the code runs without problems in linux.
Here is what sorted out my problem and the steps that I took to reach the long-awaited solution:
Installed Visual Studio Community but the VCBuild.exe was not there still.
Installed Microsoft Build Tools 2015 and tried to install the affected module as: npm install bcrypt --msvs_version=2015 but I got the following error:
error MSB8036: The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found. Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking the solution and selecting "Retarget solution".
My last shot was to install Visual Studio Express for Desktop and after npm install bcrypt --msvs_version=2015 I manage to npm install and npm start my app in Windows7!!
Lastly I uninstalled Visual Studio Community and Microsoft Build Tools 2015.
Note I had to remove the bcrypt module from the dependencies in package.json and install it as npm install bcrypt --msvs_version=2015 inside my app folder.

CMake does not find Windows SDK 8.1

I am trying to download a C program called fluidsynth (https://sourceforge.net/p/fluidsynth) so that I can later install python bindings and use it in some code.
I installed CMake and Visual Studio. From the VS command line (as an administrator) I gave the command cmake c:\path\to\fluidsynth. I got a few errors:
In the command line, I got No CMAKE_C_COMPILER could be found.
In the CMake error log it says Build FAILED Then:
error MSB8036: The Windows SDK version 8.1 was not found.
Install the required version of Windows SDK or change the
SDK version in the project property pages or by right-clicking
the solution and selecting "Retarget solution".
[C:\Users\user\Desktop\fluidsynth-1.1.6\CMakeFiles\3.4.3\CompilerIdC\CompilerIdC.vcxproj]
This error persists even after upgrading my Windows SDK.
1.- Visual Basic?? CMake doesn't have native support for VB.
2.- If you are going to use CMake, you must be ensure that Win SDK is propertly registered its paths.
3.- Once is done, you only need to run, from the directory you extracted the files, the following command: cmake . if you still get errors, then something is not correctly registered nor installed. That wouldn't be cmake fault.

Errors trying to install aglio with node.js

I am running Node.js 0.10.36 on my windows 7 machine. I also have grunt v0.4.5 and grunt-cli v0.1.13 installed. Python is 2.7.3 and Microsoft Visual studio is 2012.
I am trying to install aglio globally. The command I run is
npm install -g aglio
The error returned is as follows
I have been searching the internet for a good resolution to this, but I'm running out of things to try. The main suggestions were to install Python (which I've done) and to set Microsoft Visual Studio to 2012 (which I've also done).
