I think I am having a similar problem.

Running pear config-show gives:
Code: Select all

System Configuration File      Filename         C:\Windows\pearsys.ini

You can see that a number of folders are set to be located within C:\php (which doesn't exist). Also the configuration files are set to be located within C:\Windows, and therefore don't exist (Win7 won't allow writing in this folder). I can't change any of the settings, because the config files are not accessible, and I don't know how to set up a new config file in the correct location (i.e. within the XAMPP folder). Can anyone help?

Apologies if this is not the same issue, and I have just hijacked this thread!
Thx, Mike

Well sorta different -

Did you use the XAMPP-shell button in Control Panel? It creates a proper environment table. Try that. Nothing in XAMPP is 'really' installed, its all command line calls

Good Luck
