Installation failed, reverting ./composer.json to its original content.
It is pretty much obvious that you need to install the mbstring extention. Just go to your php.ini and uncomment the
extension=php_mbstring.dll
line.
You have mentioned 5.1.* for version (for illuminate) in your composer.json making it ambiguous. You need to specify a particular version like for e.g. 5.1.16 to remove the ambiguity in the version. Also extension=php_mbstring.dll your extension mbstring is missing.
Hope that helps.
Your command line version of PHP is missing the mbstring extension.
Run php -i to get the info data. Find the part that tells you which php.ini file has been used. Edit this file to add the extension. Run the composer command again. It should work.
Note that the CLI PHP usually uses a different INI file than PHP of the webserver. Additionally, CLI PHP need not to be restarted, because it isn't part of a constantly running process.
Example from my machine (excerpt):
Configuration File (php.ini) Path => C:\Windows
Loaded Configuration File => C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\php.ini
Scan this dir for additional .ini files => (none)
Additional .ini files parsed => (none)
