If C:\XAMPP\PHP is the path to your PHP installation (the location of your php.exe and php.ini), then try running:

Get-Php C:\XAMPP\PHP

What does that output?

If that works, try using the Php-Switcher to alias your PHP installation:

Initialize-PhpSwitcher -Alias C:\PHP\CurrentVersion -Scope CurrentUser

Now:

Add-PhpToSwitcher -Name 5.6 -Path C:\XAMPP\PHP

Substituting 5.6 for whatever your PHP version is.

Now:

Switch-Php 5.6

Then you will need to point your XAMPP Apache config httpd.conf to the new directory:

LoadModule php5_module "C:/PHP/CurrentVersion/php5apache2_4.dll"
PHPIniDir "C:/PHP/CurrentVersion"

Now you should be able to run:

Install-PhpExtension imagick
