PHP Pear package not installing on IIS10

Question

I downloaded https://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar accordingly and placed it to

c:/Program Files (x86)/PHP/v5.3/

And went in to CMD with admin rights, proceeded to the above directory and key'ed in

php go-pear.phar

Then I initiated a system wide installation and only did the following

And it failed to do the following:

• Confirm the installation
• pear command is unrecognized when running it on CMD

My system is Windows Server 2012 running IIS10, and using PHP v5.3.

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

The Pear command only works after we add the installation path to your Path environment.

Either do this manually (Start > Control Panel > System > Environment) or run (double-click) the newly generated PEAR_ENV.reg that's now found in the PHP source directory.

Then we can run the command Pear in a Windows Command Prompt.
Here is the official manual of installing the PEAR package manager in Windows.

If it doesn't work yet, I suggest you install some other newer PHP version, such as PHP 5.8, afterward we execute the PEAR installation.
Feel free to let me know if there is anything
