Are you using the correct version of the module? – Manuel Eduardo Romero Jan 12 '23 at 15:12

@ManuelEduardoRomero I think so, I'm using php 8.2.0, with mcrypt 7.4 (tried both ts and nts) – GBU Jan 12 '23 at 15:21

In order to install PHP extensions on Windows you either need to download precompiled DLL from PECL, or compile the code yourself.
As of writing this answer precompiled DLLs for mcrypt are only available for version 1.0.4 and older. Newest release, version 1.0.5 which is compatible with PHP 8.2.0 only has source code listed, which means you'll have to compile it yourself: https://www.php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.windows.php
Alternatively, you might want to try to use this polyfill library instead: https://github.com/phpseclib/mcrypt_compat
