1.3.3 Installing with PHP Windows Installer
When you have PHP installed, you need to make sure that your include_path PHP setting is
sensible. Some versions of the Windows PHP Installer use c:\php4\pear in the default include
path, but this directory (c:\php4) is different from the one created by the PHP Windows Installer.
So, edit your php.ini file (in c:\winnt or c:\windows, depending on your Windows version) and
change this directory to c:\php\pear (see Figure 1.4).
