When I try to install DB::DataObject, it fails because it is dependant on Validate. When I go to install Validate, I can't find it anywhere in the package list. This is presumably because it is an alpha package. So, I went to the configuration page of the package manager and set the Preferred Package State: to alpha instead of stable.
This may have been mentioned already but in case not: Running PHP 4.3.2 on windows it has been mentioned that to install db_dataobject and indeed any package that has a dependency on an alpha/beta package, you have to set the preferred_state accordingly. In the latest pear installer this workaround works and the package installs fine, but once you're in either alpha or beta state, some of the pear commands stop working, ie: pear list-all: C:\php\cli>pear list-all ALL PACKAGES: ============= 
PACKAGE     LATEST LOCAL
