Installing PEAR on WAMP Windows

When you installed the WAMP search for the file "go-pear.bat". Normally the file is located in C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5 but depending on version of WAMP. I'm now using WAMP 2.1e which supports PHP5.3.5. Go to the folder and run the file as administrator.

If you get this type of error, don't worry

Press any key to continue . . .

Open Command prompt that go to the folder C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5\PEAR and type "php -d phar.require_hash=0 go-pear.phar" . Make sure you have set the PHP Environment.

If you don't set the PHP environment, type "php -d phar.require_hash=0 PEAR\go-pear.phar" from the folder C:\wamp\bin\php\php5.3.5\

The just press ENTER to accept default setup.
