- Open the php.ini file found in the php/php.ini folder (older versions of XAMPP use moodle/apache/bin folder)
- Find the line:
;extension=php_curl.dll
- Remove the

at the beginning of the line - Restart Apache
If you still get an error message after doing these steps, then:
- Go to the php folder.
- Copy the
icudt##.dll
,icuin##.dll
andicuuc##.dll
files (where ## is a two digit number, for example: 36 or 49). - Go to the Apache bin directory.
- Paste the three files:
apache/bin/icudt49.dll apache/bin/icuin49.dll apache/bin/icuuc49.dll
- Restart your Apache web server and retry your Moodle install process.
