PEAR installer missing on Windows + PHP 4.3.0 (pear.bat refers to missing file?)

I installed PEAR on top of a clean PHP 4.3.0 installation on a Windows XP Pro machine. See output below. The base packages all seem to have been installed correctly (for example, a simple test with DB works). But the installer file "pear.bat" is missing. There is just a file named "pear.bat_old". The warning ** WARNING! Backed up old pear to C:\\Programs\\PHP\pear.bat_old is misleading, considering that there was no file "pear.bat" when I started the installation of PEAR. If I rename "pear.bat_old" to "pear.bat" and fix the paths in it, it does not work. The file contains the command %PHP_BIN% -C -d output_buffer=1 -d include_path=%PEAR_PATH% -f %BIN_DIR%\pear -- %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9 But the file "%BIN_DIR%\pear" -- as referred to by the -f option -- is missing. (What directory should %BIN_DIR% point to anyway?) I have searched CVS, I can't find any such file. What's the status on all this? Peter Zuidhoek ------------------------- 1.
