Maybe this was not clear:
You must do nothing in XAMPP/Win (standard installation) so shell_exec() works. It's working out of the box and exactly like you can read in the PHP Manual.
--> Just try it with your own script.

i desperately need this script to work.

There is nothing we can do, if this script have a bug or does not support Windows at all.
--> You should/must ask the author of this script what happens (what you can do), because you are trying to install (and have problems) with this script.
