There was no Wise installation that I recall going through - no setup.exe to click. Maybe I missed something? The README file does not provide any installation related info. The install-pear.txt file only contains this: +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | The installation process is incomplete. The following resources were | | not installed: | | | | Self-contained Extension Support | | PEAR: PHP Extension and Add-on Repository | | | | To install these components, become the superuser and execute: | | | | # make install-su | +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ Not too helpful on Windows ME box :-) Regards, Paul Meagher
