Do not provide a version number when you run the command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel your-project-name 4.2.*

Use this instead:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

you should install mcrypt with pecl on your xampp server:

./bin/pecl install mcrypt

then add to php.ini this code (extension block):

extension=mcrypt.so

First, you should download the suitable version for your system from here: https://pecl.php.net/package/mcrypt/1.0.3/windows

Then, you should copy php_mcrypt.dll to ../xampp/php/ext/ and enable the extension by adding extension=mcrypt to your xampp/php/php.ini file.

The recent versions of XAMPP for Windows runs PHP 7.x which are NOT compatible with mbcrypt. If you have a package like Laravel that requires mbcrypt, you will need to install an older version of XAMPP. OR, you can run XAMPP with multiple versions of PHP by downloading a PHP package from Windows.PHP.net, installing it in your XAMPP folder, and configuring php.ini and httpd.conf to use the correct version of PHP for your site.

Right from the PHP Docs: PHP 5.3 Windows binaries uses the static version of the MCrypt library, no DLL are needed.

http://php.net/manual/en/mcrypt.requirements.php

But if you really want to download it, just go to the mcrypt sourceforge page
