All had been working well for PHP MySQL code. The problems arose when I moved into go-pear territory. First time round it appeared that the PEAR include path was incorrectly set to
.,C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear\
When changed to a better value by overwriting the .
C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear,C:\Program Files\xampp\php\pear\
circumstances improved but using go-pear.php or pear produced long error reports but overall produced the required results with repeated attempts. And I was making progress with PEAR.
Then there was a package I wanted but could not load. Which led to the advice to uninstall and re-instal.
I used the Windows uninstal process after I had stored my files elsewhere. Downloaded the XAMPP package and installed it. Now go-apache.bat produces the following output.

Apache 2 is starting ...

xampp.conf: Cannot load C:/xampp/apache/bin/php5apache2.dll into server: The spe
cified module could not be found.
Apache konnte nicht gestartet werden
Apache could not be started
Press any key to continue . . .
The reason it could not be found is because its correct address should be
C://Program Files/xampp/apache/bin/php5apache2.dll
What do I need to do to correct this problem?
My PEAR problem was that the include path was not correct and I needed to edit it. This appears to be a similar problem although the missing element was not the same for each case.
Am I committing a fundamental error?
