Grav wont install- doesn't recognize PHP GD as installed

Installing Grav on Windows XAMPP environment (zip install). PHP 8.

Grav gives message that it won't install because GD is not installed, but phpinfo() shows the GD is indeed installed. Is Grav not PHP 8 compatible?

Hi,
check the php.ini.
At line 920 there's

extension=gd

that must be uncommented.
