Hi Geoffrey, I am not sure what is bundled with the MSI installer, but since it only includes the CGI version of PHP, and PEAR's command-line interface doesn't work with the CGI version but only with the CLI version, PEAR porbably isn't included in the MSI installer. Your best bet is to download http://pear.php.net/go-pear and save it as go-pear.php, then open it in a local web browser to install PEAR through the web interface. Regards, Greg Geoffrey R.

MSI installer.
The go-pear.bat file should be in the php installation directory,
which
is php-4.3.3-Win32 by default.
The default directory was just "PHP" - and there was no go-pear.bat file, in the PHP directory, or any of the three sub-directories (BACKUP, sessiondata or uploadtemp). I selected the IIS option, and entered my smtp/e-mail information, but other than that, accepted all settings as offered.
