To install the curl library on Windows

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 and icuuc##.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

Tip: If it appears that WAMP comes with/has a corrupt curl.dll version, see the forum.wampserver.com thread Wamp Server 2.2 Windows 7 64-bit and curl not working side-by-side configuration incorrect for details of the problem together with a fix.
