PHP5.2: installing support for .phar files on Windows

I am开发者_如何学Python trying to install support for php's archive file format into windows servers that have php5.2. I tried to do this using pecl install phar. But I am getting this error:

The DSP phar.dsp does not exist

Can anybody help me figure this out?

Thanks

If you want to use pecl install on windows, you need to have Microsoft Visual Studio installed.

It's probably easier to use the phar.dll shipped with your PHP setup program.
