Before sometime I also had the same problem. I have tried replacing the .dll file but no result. After some debugging I found the solution.

I had this in my php.ini file:

extension_dir = "ext"

And I'm getting mbstring extension missing error. So I tried putting the full path for the extension directory and it works for me. like:

extension_dir = "C:\php\ext"

Hope this will help.

Cheers,
