Windows – Does PHP for Windows work with VC10 (Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1)

apache-2.2PHPphp5windowswindows 7

My system is Windows 7 x86. Im going to install Apache 2.4.2 VC10 from Apache Lounge and it requires Visual C++ 2010:

Be sure that you have installed the Visual C++ 2010 SP1
Redistributable Package x86.

While PHP 5.4.4 VC9 x86 Thread Safe (as stated on PHP for Windows page) requires Visual C++ 2008:

The VC9 versions require you to have the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime
(x86) or the Microsoft 2008 C++ Runtime (x64) installed.

Seems i have to install both. Can PHP work only with Visual C++ 2010 SP1?

The page you are referring to (Apache Lounge) clearly says that it will work:

Note: a VC10 binary loads VC10 and VC9 modules.

Works with the PHP 5.4, 5.3 and 5.2 handlers (php5apache2_4.dll) below and the binaries from windows.php.net
