PHP's Composer never works on my Windows machine

For some reason, for the past few months Composer has quit working for me on my Windows PC. Every single time I use it I get errors, always different errors but none the less, it never works.

Below is my latest error when trying to use Composer to install some packages...

Problem 1
    - oro/platform 1.0.0-alpha2 requires ass/xmlsecurity dev-master -> satisfiable by ass/xmlsecurity[dev-master].
    - oro/platform 1.0.x-dev requires ass/xmlsecurity dev-master -> satisfiable
by ass/xmlsecurity[dev-master].
    - ass/xmlsecurity dev-master requires lib-openssl >=0.9.0 -> the requested linked library openssl has the wrong version installed or is missing from your system, make sure to have the extension providing it.
    - Installation request for oro/platform 1.0.*@dev -> satisfiable by oro/platform[1.0.0-alpha2, 1.0.x-dev].

Does anyone know why I might be having so many problems? I have tried re-installing Composer several times but it never fixes anything.

The problem probably is that if you're using WAMP you have to enable lib-openssl (and maybe some other stuff, too) in two different php.ini files, one for Apache and one for CLI.

  • Apache php.ini location: :\wamp\bin\apache\apache2..*\bin
  • CLI php.ini location: :\wamp\bin\php\php5..*

Since Composer uses the command line / CLI version of PHP, that should be your first stop.

Not a solution, but an answer nonetheless: Do not waste your time installing OpenSSL binaries on your Windows machine. It doesn't work and apparently has nothing to do with the problem. (Tried both x86 and x64.)

Looks like a dependency issue - perhaps you have removed or corrupted a package.

I know this sounds cliched, but have you tried reinstalling Composer?
