Adding the following two lines to the go-pear script makes the PEAR installer use the correct drive, which fixes the problem many people (including myself) have had with installing PEAR when PHP and Windows are installed on different drives. On line 326, change: $install_options = array(
    'nodeps' => true,
    'force' => true,
    );
To: $install_options = array(
    'nodeps' => true,
    'force' => true,
    'installroot' => (eregi("^([a-z]:[\\/])", $prefix, $tmpmatches)) ? $tmpmatches[1] : "",
    );
unset($tmpmatches); This only affects installation paths that begin with a drive letter, so unix installs should be unchanged, and I've successfully tested this by installing to c:\php4\pear, c:\php4\pear\pear\ and d:\pear There are still other bugs to fix for PEAR installation on Windows. Namely: 1. pear.bat still doesn't replace the @VAR_NAMES@ with install variables 2. the installer still tries to rename '.tmppear' to 'pear' even though this conflicts with the default install directory name of 'pear' (setting the "PHP code directory" to $prefix\pearlib allows the rename to take place, but pear.bat still doesn't get updated). The installer should try renaming the script pear.in or something. Maybe I can have a look at those later. Sorry for not supplying this in unified diff format, but I really can't be bothered. It's just a 20second cut & paste job anyway :) Matt
