Description: ------------ I've noticed that PEAR keeps creating c:\php5\pear\{docs,data} folders even thought other paths were given to the go-pear script. After some testing I've been able to determin that the reason why this is happening is that in addition to creating a pear.ini file in the php directory (I changed the path manually during install) pear creates a aditional configuration file in c:\windows\ at the first call to either pear install or pear upgrade-all. This new configuration file has some of the paths that was given to go-pear, but settings such as data_dir and doc_dir are resetted to the default. I've tried this several times, removing any trace of pear and using fresh php installations aswell as the lastest go- pear.phar.
