However, I've run 1.4.0 for quite a while now on my windows system and the last release has been very satisfactory. Would the above option prevent people from installing pear using go-pear.org? And how will it affect the windows installation? I certainly don't like the idea that PEAR may not be packaged with any release of PHP. Regards, Klaus
