Xampp: Php_redis.dll could not be loaded

Question

I use XAMPP 1.8.3, PHP 5.5.9, TS, VC11. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate x86, up-to-date.

Recently I wanted to add php_redis.dll extension. I downloaded php_redis-2.2.4-5.5-ts-vc11-x86.zip from here, as well as the php_igbinary.dll. Both files are in the php/ext folder.

The php.ini is correct. The extensions are not commented out, the path is OK, the IG-Binary.dll is visible in phpinfo()-output. My PATH contains a path to the extensions folder.

Only Redis makes problems. Each time when starting Apache it says:

PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'C:\xampp183\php\ext\php_redis.dll' - The specified module has not been found.

I am desperated, because I have tried everything with no result. Please help!
