Having trouble installing PHPUnit with PEAR Installer (Windows)

Question

I am trying to install phpunit/PHPUnit. I get something like below, I think the problem is that Archive/Tar.php is not found? I tried using the --alldeps switch and got the same error. Trying to install pear install archive_tar even gives the same error where Archive/Tar.php was not found!

D:\ResourceLibrary\Frameworks>pear install phpunit/PHPUnit
phpunit/PHPUnit can optionally use PHP extension "dbus"
downloading PHPUnit-3.5.5.tgz ...
Starting to download PHPUnit-3.5.5.tgz (116,148 bytes)

Mark it as your answer dude :-) – Rakesh Sankar Jun 21 '11 at 05:35
This was the issue for me. Apparently PEAR doesn't always intall Archive_Tar correctly the first time. Simply running the go-pear.phar script again solved the issue. – imkingdavid May 22 '13 at 07:27
