RE: [PEAR] pear install in windows - continuation of last cry for help

Mm, i succeeded in installing the pear command under windows during the summer. I had written a long post then explaining the steps i had to follow. Some of them may be outdated but there might still be good material in there. Try having a look at the archive. As a side note, does the apache user has the write right to the directory \Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\go-pear\PEAR\data\PEAR\ ?
