Hello pear-dev, Starting with PHP 4.3.11 go-pear.bat in distributive uses CGI binary instead of CLI and -n option. This changes default installation prefix

1. Installation prefix           : C:\PHP

to

1. Installation prefix           : C:\PHP\PEAR

So pear.bat and other files are created inside C:\PHP\PEAR directory and package files go to C:\PHP\PEAR\pear\ Pear no longer works on installations where C:\PHP path added to paths and you can think about other consequences for varios installation instructions relying on default settings. Next message in installer become meaningless with -n key also ----------- ... WARNING! The include_path defined in the currently used php.ini does not contain the PEAR PHP directory you just specified: ... -----------

Go-pear also lets you download and install the PEAR packages bundled with PHP: " . implode(', ', $pfc_packages) . ". "Download and install bundled packages." Maybe it is better to say Go-pear also lets you download and install some popular PEAR packages

Please open a bug for the go-pear.bat issue Greg
