Describe the bug
Error installing PHP 8.4 on Windows. Resolved by installing Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2022 x64.

While previous minor versions of PHP 8 have been built with Visual Studio 2019 (aka. VS16), it is time to use Visual Studio 2022 (aka. VS17) for the PHP 8.4 builds. To use these builds, you may need to install or update the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015-2022 x64 or x86.
