XAMPP can not install xdebug

Question

Hello I have installed xampp, changed the php.ini to this:

[XDebug]
zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_xdebug-2.2.3-5.3-vc9.dll"
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 1
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "C:\xampp\tmp"
xdebug.profiler_output_name = "cachegrind.out.%t-%s"
xdebug.remote_enable = 0
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "127.0.0.1"
xdebug.trace_output_dir = "C:\xampp\tmp"

So I created a php file:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Copy pasted the content and pasted in the xdebug wizard and got this output:

This tells me that it is not installed, so I followed the instructions and restarted the server. Opened the info php again, copied everything again and pasted it in the wizard again. Press the button and I get the exact same output, I don't know what I am doing wrong can anyone tell me what I do wrong?
