Description:
------------
I am trying to install PEAR silently; that is, without user interaction. To me it seems that there is currently no possiblity of doing this.
It would be a great to automatically deploy PHP with PEAR if the PEAR installer could be changed to support this. Would it be possible to add a "silent" switch to the PEAR installer that would just skip asking questions and install PEAR with default values? This would allow for fully automated deployment of PHP with PEAR.

@cellog: yes, install-pear-nozlib.phar works silently, but installs to c:\php5 which is not what I want - I want to install PEAR inside my php directory. Is there a way to pass another installation path to the installer?
@pajoye: I don't agree with "it can't be done". Sorry if I failed to make my point clear. When I run go-pear, it basically calculates several values and asks me to confirm them. This requires me to hit enter twice. I cannot automate this (I have tried with echo piped to batch tricks, but didn't get this to work). My goal is a fully automated installation and configuration of PHP and PEAR. This would be possible by adding a switch like "go-pear system" and/or "go-pear silent" which skips asking the two questions, but installs PEAR using the calculated default values. To me, this has nothing to do with statically compiled values?

Greg, thanks for your help. It works - almost. Here's what happens:
I run "C:\Programme\e-novative\WAMP\php\php.exe" "C:\Programme\e-novative\WAMP\e-novative\install-pear-nozlib.phar" -d "C:\Programme\e-novative\WAMP\php\PEAR" -b "C:\Programme\e-novative\WAMP\php" --extreme-debug
The installer rather cowardly insists on putting php_bin=c:\php5\php.exe into pearsys.ini. Obviously this value also appears in the .bat files (PHP_PEAR_PHP_BIN) and in the environment variable of the same name. This is somehow strange since PHP_PEAR_BIN_DIR is set correctly.
When I manually patch pearsys.ini and the batch files and change the environment variable, the pear installation works just fine.
Another thing I noticed is that pearsys.ini contains chache_dir="c:\DOKUME~1\Steve\LOKALE~1\Temp\pear\cache". Since I do a system-wide installation of PEAR, it is probably not a good idea to use a certain user's Temp directory as the PEAR cache directory. I another user runs PEAR, he will probably not have access rights to my Temp dir. It might be better to use the Temp dir inside the Windows directory for system-wide PEAR installation.
