Description: ------------ Did a fresh install of PEAR using the go-pear.php found in a PHP 5 snapshot from last night on my Win32 machine. To make this really fresh, I renamed my old PEAR directory, though I did not blow away the windows registry entries. Upon completion of the process, I got this warning: ** WARNING! Backed up old pear to C:\PROGRA~1\pear\pear.bat_old Even though there was no old file really there. Plus, it was renamed the new file to pear.bat_old, leaving me with no pear.bat file.

Please try with a cvs version of go-pear (pearweb/public_html/go-pear) --Pierre

Found the problem. It's due to case sensitivity. Here's a patch: http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/pear/gopear.win32.case.diff This also solves bug #1157: pear is in the path, but go-pear says it's not.

this patch isn't quite right - you set $pearcmd to '' on non-windows platforms. It should be $pear_cmd = $bin_dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'pear'; - $pear_cmd .= WINDOWS?'.bat':''; + $pear_cmd = WINDOWS ? strtolower($pear_cmd) . '.bat' : $pearcmd; instead of $pear_cmd = $bin_dir . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'pear'; - $pear_cmd .= WINDOWS?'.bat':''; + $pear_cmd = WINDOWS ? strtolower($pear_cmd).'.bat' : '';

Good catch, Greg. Thanks.

Just to be clear... The patch file has been corrected.

I am still seeing this problem on a new install of PHP 5.2.0. Under Windows if you do a 'clean' Pear install you end up with pear.bat_old which has to be renamed to pear.bat in order to get it working. Can someone have another look at this please?
