I have the same issue trying to use version 15.0.2.
15.0.1 works fine.
I've installed the latest version of vc_redist.x64.exe (14.40.33810.0). No change.
I'm running Windows 7 Pro.
I find it strange that such a small version number change could make such a difference.
I'm trying to use the latest versions of PHP and MySQL. I can live with 15.0.1 for now but is there anything else that could help me get 15.0.2 to work?
I will assume the "holiday madness" is the cause for why this inquiry had no response before mine.
I had the same error message and it seems to be related to the fact that the folder I copied my files to had a space in it. I saw this in the documentation...
If the error message was more clear, we would have figured it out sooner.
