I always unstall and then reinstall. For apache, under windows, he keeps
registry entries and YOU HAVE TO uninstall it BEFORE installing a
different version. Else you will be having major problems. I think the
current version of Apache is 2.0.55 so you are not far off this version..

For PEAR it sound like you are not using it. So I would not worry about
it. You may want to look at the PEAR packages. The install is simple and
is in the Docs. Same goes for PECL.

Thanks in Advance...
