Hi,

I'm trying to install PEAR on a MS Windows server 2003 (web edition) machine with php 4.3.1 and I'm running in to a problem using both the command line installer and go-pear.php running over the web.

The Web based installer give me this output while downloading the packages

Code:
Starting installation ...
Loading zlib: ok

Bootstrapping Installer...................
Using previously install ... ok

Extracting installer..................
Downloading package: PEAR.............
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: archive_tar in C:\Home\f\o\foodlocalfood.co.uk\go-pear.php on line 725


And the command line installer gives me this


Code:


Welcome to go-pear!

Go-pear will install the 'pear' command and all the files needed by
it.  This command is your tool for PEAR installation and maintenance.

Use 'php PEAR\go-pear.php local' to install a local copy of PEAR.

Go-pear also lets you download and install the following optional PEAR
packages: PEAR_Frontend_Web-beta, PEAR_Frontend_Gtk2, MDB2.


If you wish to abort, press Control-C now, or press Enter to continue:

HTTP proxy (http://user:password@proxy.myhost.com:port), or Enter for none::

Below is a suggested file layout for your new PEAR installation.  To
change individual locations, type the number in front of the
directory.  Type 'all' to change all of them or simply press Enter to
accept these locations.

 1. Installation prefix ($prefix) : C:\PHP
 2. Temporary files directory     : $prefix\temp
 3. Binaries directory            : $prefix
 4. PHP code directory ($php_dir) : $prefix\pear
 5. Documentation base directory  : $php_dir\docs
 6. Data base directory           : $php_dir\data
 7. Tests base directory          : $php_dir\tests
 8. php.exe path                  : C:\PHP\cli\php.exe

1-8, 'all' or Enter to continue:

The following PEAR packages are bundled with PHP: PEAR_Frontend_Web-beta,
PEAR_Frontend_Gtk2, MDB2.
Would you like to install these as well? [Y/n] : y

Loading zlib: ok

Bootstrapping Installer...................
Using previously install ... ok

Extracting installer..................
Using local package: PEAR.............PHP Fatal error:  Cannot instantiate non-e
xistent class:  archive_tar in C:\PHP\PEAR\go-pear.php on line 725

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class:  archive_tar in C:\PHP\PEAR\
go-pear.php on line 725
Press any key to continue . . .

C:\PHP>


So it seems there is an issue with 'archive_tar' somewhere along the line!

I'm pretty new to this sort of thing so I'm at a bit of a loss now...

Help! Sad

I discovered a previous installation was causing problems, removing everything in the /php/pear folder and retrying solved the problem
