Hi, You are supposed to use go-pear once to bootstrap the PEAR installer (pear.bat). Then, installing DB_DataObject would be done by typing "pear install DB_DataObject". However, it seems that people are having so many different problems with Windows that I need to install XP in vmware to test out different configurations myself. As soon as I find some install media in the office I'll have a go at it. - Stig -- Stig Sæther Bakken, Fast Search & Transfer ASA, Trondheim, Norway http://pear.php.net/wishlist.php/ssb
