exactly same problem here. I tried to manually rename the pear dir manually, the initial . seems to be refused by windows 7, gives error box "You must type a file name"

Same bug here.

Got the same error with 2 different packages. Windows 7 x64.

[RedChrome]

Yeah got the same problem too...
my workaround was to create a temp dir for the installer to place the executables files in, and change the paths of the executables appropriately:

php .phar set bin_dir C:\php\TMP

Unfortunately, the paths in C:\php\TMP\ *.bat are wrong, so remove TMP\ from the *.bat's and move them to C:\php.

I finally got it working by removing the read-only attribute from the folder containing pyrus.phar. Couldn't find a fix on the interwebs, so I'm adding it here.

Used -f option and it worked.
