Re: pear.bat on WinXP does nothing

Try re-installing it but change the 3rd option to not create the directory as 'pear' but something that will not cause a name conflict like 'pear_dir'. I just solved that issue for myself. However, I got stuck not too far ahead: when I type in a command in pear.bat, I get the following error in the output: Console_Getopt: Could not read cmd args (register_argc_argv=Off?) Let me know if you find the answer. Thanks, C:\PHP>pear help Console_Getopt: Could not read cmd args (register_argc_argv=Off?)
