Trying to configure CMS server

The software im using is the following: Xampp 7.2.10 & xibo cms 1.8.11
OS : Windows

im having a issue with the Mcrypt Extension, since Xampp 7.2.10 is missing that extension.

I tried manually downloading the extension and copying it into the php/ext folder from xampp and write the extension into the php.ini file. Without result.

I am trying to get Xibo working on localhost please any advise?

Below is a link to a post from a User who states they have a workaround for this issue:

Please note that this potential fix is recommended for new installations not upgraded CMSs.

If this does not resolve the issue, I would recommend installing an earlier version of Xampp that includes Mcrypt.

Version 1.8.12 will not require Mcrypt resolving the issue in the future. There is not currently a set release date for 1.8.12 but we will update our blog as soon as there is more information.

Many Thanks.
