title: Cannot install PEAR mail package XAMPP on Windows
body: <p>From the cmd line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\Users\Lemur&gt;pear install --onlyreqdeps Mail
  
  Did not download optional dependencies: pear/Net_SMTP, use --alldeps to download automatically
  pear/Mail can optionally use package "pear/Net_SMTP" (version &gt;= 1.4.1)

  ERROR: failed to mkdir C:\php\pear\tests\Mail\tests
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I see a newly created Mail folder in xampp\php\pear\Mail, which is correct, but the folder has no contents.  </p>
  
  <p>Also, the Error shows that install is attempting to put something at C:\php\pear\tests\Mail\tests.  There is no such directory C:\php\pear...</p>
  
  <p>What is wrong?  Include_path in php.ini is correct (C:\xampp\php\pear).<br>
  Thanks in advance.</p>
