If I've missed the response:
I suggest that you follow the instruction of http://go-pear.org:
# Installation: Windows
#
# On Windows, go-pear uses stdin for user input, so you must download
# go-pear first and then run it:
#
# Note: In PHP 4.2.0-4.2.3, the PHP CLI binary is named php-cli.exe while since
# PHP 4.3.0, it's simply named php.exe in the cli/ folder of your PHP directory.
# The CGI is also named php.exe but it sits directly in your PHP directory.
#
# > cli/php -r "readfile('http://pear.php.net/go-pear');" > go-pear
# > cli/php go-pear
#
# In PHP 5.0.0, the PHP CLI binary is php.exe
#
# > php -r "readfile('http://pear.php.net/go-pear');" > go-pear
# > php go-pear
#
# Installation: Notes
#
# - If using the CGI version of PHP, append the -q option to suppress
# headers in the output.
# - By default, go-pear will install a system-wide configuration file. For
# a local install use:
# > php go-pear local
#
# - Once the go-pear script is initiated, you will see instructions on
# how to continue installing PEAR. The first thing you should see is:
#
# Welcome to go-pear!
That's it! With this steps you avoid to having install first old versions of PEAR and the dependencies.
Good luck.
