This is a known problem - the 5.2 windows zip official release does NOT 
contain the proper go-pear.phar file (the installer and source releases, 
however, do) - a quick google search would have given you the answer

http://cvs.php.net/viewvc.cgi/pearweb/public_html/go-pear.phar?view=co

Is the version you need - overwrite your current go-pear.phar and it 
should work fine - they really should rerelease it with the proper file 
or at least do an announcement on php.net
