Upgrade 7.2 to 7.3 not working - "error extracting from archive"

[Les]

Hello,
Just attempted to use the Update-Php C:\PHP command.
Was running PHP 7.2, x64 ts on Windows 10, Apache 2.4.39
Got the following output:

I could not find any info to debug these messages. Can you assist please?

Your apache service is up and running, isn't it?

If so, the apache process is locking some files in the PHP installation directory (for example, php7apache2_4.dll), so PhpManager can't overwrite those files.

If your apache service is called Apache, you can update PHP with the following commands:

Stop-Service Apache
Update-Php C:\PHP
Start-Service Apache

Please remark that the Start-Service / Stop-Service commands require admin rights, so you may need to run them in an elevated powershell instance (that is, Run as Administrator).

Yes Apache is up and running and restarted after installation. But the name is Apache24 and PHP is in PHP7. So would the correct commands be:
Stop-Service Apache24
Update-Php C:\PHP7
Start-Service Apache24

[Michele Locati]

Yep, that should be correct.

[Les]

That worked. Thanks!

[Michele Locati]

You can also stop/start the Apache24 service in a normal (non elevated) shell by running these two commands

Start-Process -FilePath 'powershell.exe' -ArgumentList 'Stop-Service Apache24' -Verb RunAs -Wait -WindowStyle Hidden
Update-Php C:\PHP7
Start-Process -FilePath 'powershell.exe' -ArgumentList 'Start-Service Apache24' -Verb RunAs -Wait -WindowStyle Hidden

(but Windows will ask you twice to allow the execution of the two elevated commands)
