php - 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:xamppphp

Open a command prompt and go to C:xamppphp
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:phppeardataAuthAuthFrontend
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:phppeardocsBenchmarkdoc
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:phppeardataCacheContainer
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:phppeardocsCache_Litedocs
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:phppeardocsCalendardocsexamples
ERROR: failed to mkdir C:phppeardocsConfigdocs
.....

My PHP directory is installed under C:xamppphp

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

Thanks
