Hi
I've got the following errors after try to install pear (see below). I can start the go-pear.bat, but i can't select any folders. Is this an bug in PEAR? I had not these problems with the version of Apache/2.0.59 and PHP/5.2.3. What should I do? Thanks for your assistance.

OS
Windows XP Professional 2002
Service Pack 2

with
Apache/2.2.6
PHP/5.2.4

extension in "C:\Documents".
Looks like perhaps your "C:\Documents and Settings\blah\blah" is being
truncated by the space in "Documents and Settings". Did you wrap that
entire path value with double-quotes when you typed it in?
