PHP extension "curl" must be loaded

Question

I'm trying to install a Magento on my server, and when I get to "Configuration", the installation launches: PHP extension "curl" must be loaded.

I've checked my php.ini, and extension=php_curl.dll is not commented. For both Apache and PHP folders. I also checked my Wamp manager, and it looks like this:

.

So I guess that my php_curl is working fine... But I still get the same message when I install Magento:

.

Any idea on what's wrong?

I had the same problem. The mod_curl extension in wamp has a bug.

You can replace it with a newer version. I don't know which PHP-Version you use but here you can download a newer version. Download a TS (TheadSafe) version of the module and replace it with your existing curl module.
