OCI8 + PHP7.1 + Windows10: The specified module could not be found

I have recently upgraded my windows from 7 to 10. After the upgrade I have "installed" PHP7.1 by adding the executable path to PATH environment variable, the same php.ini as old windows (since it is the same folder, nothing changed) and also added the same instant client 12 to the PATH.

Using php -v, it loads all the modules including mbstrings and xdebug except the oci modules stating:

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\php_oci8_12c.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\php_oci8_12c.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\php_pdo_oci.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'ext\php_pdo_oci.dll' - The specified module could not be found. in Unknown on line 0

PHP 7.1.1 (cli) (built: Jan 18 2017 18:38:49) ( ZTS MSVC14 (Visual C++ 2015) x64 )

Copyright (c) 1997-2017 The PHP Group

Zend Engine v3.1.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2017 Zend Technologies

with Xdebug v2.5.0, Copyright (c) 2002-2016, by Derick Rethans

I also tried installing a fresh windows, getting oci again from pecl, getting instant client from OTN again. None have worked yet. I have MSVC14 redistributable installed. Windows is 64-bits, same as PHP.

Your PHP is listed as x64 - make sure that the InstantClient is too. And if I remember correctly the InstantClient requires Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Runtime to be installed (that'll also need to be x64). - timclutton
@timclutton The msvc100.dll (2010) was actually the case! thank you so much! - Cunning
@timclutton It's been a long time, but it will be great if you could post your comment as an answer so it can be marked as an answer. It solved the problem. - Cunning
It's never too late to post a solution 👍 - timclutton

Quoting my own comment, as requested:
