Magento

Hello,

When I try to install an extension by using Magento Connect I get the following error:

Warning: Parameter 3 to PEAR_Task_Replace::validateXml() expected to be a reference, value given in C:\wamp\www\magento\downloader\pearlib\php\PEAR\PackageFile\v2\Validator.php on line 1143

Can any one help me?
Is there any other way to install extensions in Magento?

Regards

same problem for me. also on WAMP.

I have same problem, I fixed with below:

1. downgrade PHP5.3x to PHP5.2
2. upgrade ok
You may get a 500 error after refresh, and you get the same on your regular admin page and your storefront, you may need to change permissions on your .php files. SSH into your server, navigate to your Magento directory, and check the permissions on index.php. If may have been changed from 644 (rw-r-r) to 666 (rw-rw-rw) during the install.

Hope this will help
