APC - Unable to load dynamic library

Here is what I have in my PHP.ini:

extension=php_apc.dll
...    
[APC]
apc.enabled = 1

I'm running Apache 2.0.59, PHP version 5.2.3 on Windows Server 2003.

I've already installed XDebug compiled with vc6. Thus, I got the APC version 5.2 vc6. Here are both filenames that I downloaded (and put the *.dll in php/ext/).

php_apc-3.1.5-5.2-vc6-x86.zip php_apc-3.1.5-5.2-nts-vc6-x86.zip

I got them here.

I've tried rebooting the server and in both cases, I get the following error:

PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library './ext/php_apc.dll' - The specified module could not be found.\r\n in Unknown on line 0
Solution
    1. First, I went here
    2. Then, I downloaded Collection of PECL modules for PHP 5.2.3
    3. Then, I extracted the php_apc.dll file and copied it in the ext/ folder
    4. Restarted Apache
    5. It works!
