Memcache on windows, error php5.dll not found

I use PHP 5.3.0 and after hours of searching found a php_memcache.dll that is compiled for that version, now as I start php it gives me an error

The program can't start because php5.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix the problem.

As I see it there is php5ts.dll in php folder, and I can't find php5.dll.

And as a result memcache does not start. How can I fix this?

Most likely your memcache_php.dll files needs php5.dll file to be able to work correctly.

I suppose it should be distributed as part of that memcache for PHP. Or you can google about php5.dll to know more about it.

Old question, but are you sure the php_memcache.dll you downloaded is a thread-safe/unsafe compatible with your PHP install?

Look in your PHP directory: if there's a "php5ts.dll" you have a thread-safe PHP, so you need a thread-safe "php_memcache.dll" too, and vice-versa.

I had the same problem, with a diferent php_.dll, and the error message about php5.dll confused the heck out of me for several hours too, but it was just a matter of downloading the right php_.dll.
