getting no such file or directory error in phpExcel class when running example

Question

I just recently downloaded phpExcel library package and I followed the installation file.
I checked all the requirements to run the phpExcel classes.

To check if the library was working I ran 01simplephar.php from the Example folder in the phpExcel directory.

But I get this error :

require_once(../Build/PHPExcel.phar): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\Xampp\htdocs\Excel\Examples\01pharSimple.php on line 42

I have already checked that the extensions are active.
It seems that they are running but it still does not execute.

Answer 1

I had the same problem. Go into the php file : 01simplephar.php

change line :

require_once '../Build/PHPExcel.phar';

to:

require_once '../Classes/PHPExcel.php';

That should fix your problem. You're handling the zip file not the repo...so you wouldn't have the build folder.
