Windows Drupal Installation via XAMPP: Php Extension Disabled

Installation Procedures
In normal installation of Drupal 7, unzipping the Drupal 8 tar.zip file, pasting it to xampp/htdocs/drupal8, creating MYSQL database, and accessing the installation via browser thru http://localhost/drupal8 results to a installation error of PhP Extensions.

The said error never occurred in Drupal 7 installation process.

Recommended Solution
1. Open the xampp/php/php.ini
2. Open it thru any text editor
3. Search the word "extension=php_extname.dll"
4. If the searched word has ";" on the beginning, delete it.
5. Restart the XAMPP.

Additional Note
If does not apply, recommended installation via Ubuntu/Linux via terminal
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl

I also encountered this warning and the line I changed in php.ini was ";extension=php_fileinfo.dll" to "extension=php_fileinfo.dll".
Then after restarting apache, installation process now proceed to Set up database. thanks!

@rod1011, Please go to your php.ini file and search for extension=gd. You will see a colon; in front of this. Please remove this colon from the front. And refresh the installation page again. It will work for you. And Thank You.
