I have installed the new XAMPP 1.7.2 windows package and when inspecting the xampp index pages info links, pear at http://localhost/xampp/pearinfo.php comes up with all these errors. I have looked through the forum for answers but i find nothing so maybe somebody out there has the answer. Everthing else is working perfectly after setting the timezone in php.ini.
Here are the errors
