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

To all those interested: I got the installer working after I 1) Created the directory C:\Programs\PHP\pear\scripts (C:\Programs\PHP is my PHP installation path.) 2) Copied the file scripts\pear.in from the PEAR 1.0 package tar-file (PEAR-1[1].0.tar.gz) to this C:\Programs\PHP\pear\scripts and renamed a copy of this file to "pear". 3) Copied the file scripts\pear.bat from the PEAR 1.0 package tar-file to the directory C:\Programs\PHP and adapted the following lines: set PHP_BIN=c:\programs\php\cli\php.exe set BIN_DIR=c:\programs\php\pear\scripts set PEAR_PATH=c:\programs\php\pear %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 4) The installer works! Both pear list and pear search Auth produced plausible output. 5) From the output of pear config-show I could see that php_bin was still pointing to c:\php4\php.exe. I changed this with: pear config-set php_bin c:\programs\php\cli\php.exe The other settings seemed OK. 6) For example, installing the package Auth through the installer worked just fine.
