Installing PEAR and PHPUnit with xampp

Question

I am trying to get PHPUnit up and running the following are the steps I am currently following:

### Install new PEAR Version needed for PHPUnit 3.X
### Download:  http://pear.php.net/go-pear.phar Save it under C:\xampp\php

Open a command prompt and go to C:\xampp\php
Type "php go-pear.phar" (Installs new PEAR)
Type "pear update-channels" (updates channel definitions)
Type "pear upgrade --alldeps" (upgrades all existing packages and pear)
Type "pear channel-discover components.ez.no" (this is needed for PHPUnit)
Type "pear channel-discover pear.symfony-project.com" (also needed by PHPUnit)
Type "pear channel-discover pear.phpunit.de" (This IS phpunit)
Type "pear install --alldeps phpunit/PHPUnit" (installs PHPUnit and all dependencies)

This works up untill the point where I have to pear upgrade --alldeps after downloading all the bits it needs i get:#

ERROR: failed to mkdir C:\php\pear\data\Auth\Auth\Frontend
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:\php\pear\docs\Benchmark\doc
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:\php\pear\data\Cache\Container
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:\php\pear\docs\Cache_Lite\docs
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:\php\pear\docs\Calendar\docs\examples
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:\php\pear\docs\Config\docs
.....

My PHP directory is installed under C:\xampp\php

What do I need to change so that it knows the correct place to add these directories/ files?

Thanks

To install in D:\xampp\php, set the following directory paths using pear config-set command

D:
cd D:\xampp\php
pear config-set doc_dir d:\xampp\php\pear\docs
pear config-set cfg_dir d:\xampp\php\pear\cfg
pear config-set data_dir d:\xampp\php\pear\data
pear config-set cache_dir d:\xampp\php\pear\cache
pear config-set download_dir d:\xampp\php\pear\download
pear config-set temp_dir d:\xampp\php\pear\temp
pear config-set test_dir d:\xampp\php\pear\tests
pear config-set www_dir d:\xampp\php\pear\www
