Answer 1

The installer is looking for your PEAR directory to be in the environment variable PHP_PEAR_INSTALL_DIR . The instructions provided there say to go set your install directory in pear.bat or to set that environment variable.

Answer 2

"failed to open stream: Permission denied" suggests that it is unable to write due to a lack of write permission. I see that it is attempting to write to the windows folder and you're using windows 7. It is possible that UAC is blocking the write attempt. If you have not tried running the batch file in a command windows with elevated permissions I suggest doing so.

Right click on CMD > Run as Administrator

Execute .bat file
