when giving the go-pear.bat command in a vista cmd box I get:

...
...
ERROR: Adding package pear.php.net/Archive_Tar to registry failed
ERROR: Adding package pear.php.net/Console_Getopt to registry failed
ERROR: failed to create C:\Program Files\nusphere\phped\php5\.tmppear.bat: fopen

** WARNING! Old version found at C:\Program Files\nusphere\phped\php5, please re

The 'pear' command is now at your service at c:\program files\nusphere\phped\php
5\pear.bat

** The 'pear' command is not currently in your PATH, so you need to
** use 'c:\program files\nusphere\phped\php5\pear.bat' until you have added

Run it without parameters to see the available actions, try 'pear list'
to see what packages are installed, or 'pear help' for help.

Thanks for using go-pear!

Look, Vista does not permit to update anything in Program Files directory and below.
It's a brand-new Vista feature. You need an admin account to accomplish such tasks as installing software, including PEAR library.
