Make sure you are using the correct version of PHP and the IonCube extension should be PHP 32-bit and NTS. NTS very important.

Your screenshot shows you already have the dll in correct location. Just make sure you have the correct dll https://downloads.ioncube.com/loader_downloads/ioncube_loaders_win_nonts_vc17_x86.zip

Code:

C:\Program Files (x86)\GDG Software\ExeOutput for PHP 2025\PHPRuntime84\ext

Some good info on this forum.

I am not sure about now but some years ago, I had to leave the encoded PHP outside the compiled exe. Like in Data folder.

For IonCube loader DLLs, you must configure ExeOutput for PHP to consider them as ZEND extensions.
See our documentation here:

PHP Settings - PHP Extensions - ExeOutput for PHP

Learn how to manage PHP extensions in your ExeOutput for PHP applications. Compile extensions into the EXE or deploy them as external files.

www.exeoutput.com

Search for ioncube.
You must also use the 32-bit (x86) non thread safe (NTS) version of the DLL file for ExeOutput.
