Thanks for you posting your updated version for xampp for us windows users  ;) I appreciate it as I wasn't 100% sure it would work but yet proven differently love it!!

happy to help .. it needed just a few adjustments and google searches .. and it all worked out just perfect .. and to write the guide i cheated by using the previous guide and edit it so that it fits my edits :P

This is a renewed guide on xampp and U-232 v3

This will work for xampp 1.8.3 for other xampp you need a different php_memcache.dll file. http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/memcache/3.0.8/

unpack memcached-win32-1.4.4-14.zip to root C: same way you installed xampp DO NOT UNPACK IT INTO THE XAMPP FOLDER!.

click start then type cmd right click and make sure start as administrator.

Install memcached as a service. Go to the memcached directory in cmd, C:\memcached type and run:
memcached -d install
memcached start

then open php.ini and add this where all the extensions are defined.

extension=php_memcache.dll
[Memcache]
memcache.allow_failover = 1 
memcache.max_failover_attempts=20 
memcache.chunk_size =8192 
memcache.default_port = 11211

open the xampp directory then php then ext for example C:\xampp\php\ext
unpack the php_memcache.rar there (make sure that only the php_memcached.dll is extracted and no subfolder)

And always remember to start the memcached service (in cmd: memcached start) if you do not do this the site will crash!
-------------------------

i will also further develop the guide on how to get around the full permission error that some can get .. the thought is to make a complete guide on how to get v3 running on win 8 x64 from scratch with memcached and all :)
