I tried to install MediaWiki 1.22 on Windows and selected a few of the bundled extensions. Installation continues smoothly, but I cannot call MediaWiki afterwards. Instead, I get this warning: Warning: require_once(<path to mediawiki>\mediawiki-1.22.0xtensions\Cite\Cite.php): failed to open stream: Invalid argument in <path to mediawiki>\mediawiki-1.22.0\LocalSettings.php on line 126 The reason for this is most likely that the path to the extension file is written with backslashes in LocalSettings.php: require_once "$IP\extensions\Cite\Cite.php"; Unfortunately, \e is an escape sequence. So the resulting include path for php is wrong. Instead of ...mediawiki-1.22.0/extensions... it says ...mediawiki-1.22.0xtensions...
Likely caused by 2e1852ad6c54. This would affect only the REL1_22 branch.
Update per https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki_1.22/Known_issues&oldid=847749 which seems to be the master list.

Fixed as of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/107211/ and in MediaWiki 1.22.1. I can install extensions now on Windows. Thanks!
