Installation difficulties with pear-1.5.4.tgz Win2k;IIS;PHP522

Forgive me for boring you all about installation problems,

My system is Win2k SP4// 2gigRAM// PHP 522 with php-cgi.exe installed//MS IIS//MySQL 5037 Server;5111 Client//

Pear directory is....C:\php\pear\

The most luck I've had is while in Command Prompt at Pear directory I typed in...

php-cgi  go-pear.php  install  pear-1.5.4.tgz  <cr>

the window goes crazy for about 5-7 seconds of scrolling activity, then ends with two warnings that say

I cannot write to $pathIni, but I successfully created a php.ini under <$prefix/php.ini-gopear>. "so on and on"

When I run the command with the go-pear.bat it just says 'pause' and then says

error in  my_thread_global_end(): 1 threads didn't exit

I'm not sure what this means except the install is not correct.
Please let me know what I need to do.
Blessings,
Chetanji
