need help installing PEAR on win32

Hi, I've been trying to install PEAR on my win32. I already ran go-pear.bat, I have no idea what to do. It seems that PEAR is still not working. It was recommended I try to run "another" go-pear bat but it seemed to require lynx be installed. I'm completely confused... Using win32, Win2k. PHP 4.3.6 Tried installing PEAR. But "pear" is an unknown command after the install in my DOS box. There's no "pear.bat" file anywhere. There's an "pear.bat_old" file but no "pear.bat". Thought I installed PEAR according to the instructions by running "go-pear.bat", it was included w/php afaik. IMO PEAR should be bundled with PHP and installed by default IMO. Anyway, can anyone help me get PEAR working? I don't know where to start looking for the problem, no idea whatsoever. Thanks
