Create a file named php-composer.ini somewhere with the following content (the minimum php config for composer):

extension_dir = "D:/php/ext/" ;according to your system
extension=php_openssl.dll
memory_limit=-1 ;optional

Now create a file named cmz.bat with the following contents. (edit paths accordingly)

@ECHO OFF
php -c "D:\php-composer.ini" "C:\ProgramData\ComposerSetup\bin\composer.phar" %*

add this file to your system path or your project root. Now use cmz instead of composer and you will not see that message and hopefully the composer speed would be increased.

note: Some package need specific php extensions. you need to add them to php-compsoer.ini file or appending --ignore-platform-reqs switch to cmz.bat file
