Installation of Pear on Windows

I'm using pear's db solution, and think it works great (except that oci8/oracle give's no useful error's through db/pear). In *nix it's easy to install pear (script), but I've found none. I solved it by: -renaming "PEAR.php.in" to "PEAR.php" -include pear directory path in the include_path Is this the way to do it, or is it supposed to be another install procedure? Just curiuos. I'm writing a installation guide, and it need's to work with future releases of PHP (on windows).
