Solution that worked for me on XAMPP and Windows Vista:

• Activate the PHP module openssl

  Open php.ini and uncomment(delete ';') in:

  ;extension=php_openssl.dll

  Double-check that the extension is enabled by running phpinfo().

• Add a system environment variable "OPENSSL_CONF" with value

  C:\xampp\apache\conf\openssl.cnf

  ...assuming you installed xampp into C:\xampp.

• Set path to 'openssl.exe', which is in C:\xampp\apache\bin

  • Either set $TYPO3_CONF_VARS['SYS']['binSetup'] in ...\htdocs\typo3_src-6.2.x\typo3\sysext\core\Configuration\DefaultConfiguration.php to 'openssl=c:/xampp/apache/bin/openssl.exe'

  • or append c:\xampp\apache\bin to the environment variable PATH (will work for every PHP script not only TYPO3)

• Restart xampp
