Error with zend installation on win 7

I am trying to install ZEND FRAMEWORK on my localhost but failing miserable. I am following the below mentioned steps but don't know where am I going wrong. Please help me with the same.

Steps are as follows that I followed:

1. Downloaded the ZEND Framework full package version 1.11.7 which is about 25 Mb in a zipped version and then unzipped it to a folder called ZendFrameWork.

2. Copied the ZendFramework folder inside my c:\xampp\php\

3. changed the "include_path = '.;\xampp\php\PEAR;\.;C:\xampp\php\ZendFramework\library' " in the php.ini file.

4. Then restarted the apache server.

EDIT :: I have successfully managed to get the zf command to run without any errors. but now, all it does is, after i enter "zf create myproject" it just gets stuck with the cursor blinking on the next line. And if i press CTRL+C, i get the message : Terminate batch job ? (Y/N)

5. Then set the environment variable for zf.bat file as " C:\xampp\php\ZendFramework\bin "

6. But when I try to execute the " zf create sampleProjName " from command line it does n开发者_开发技巧othing, so then I used Windows Powershell and it gives the error which I have attached below.

Waiting for your response. Thanks in advance.

Try using normal cmd - not powershell. Works fine for me.

Thanks for all your response. I successfully installed Zend Framework.

I removed the full installation and replaced it with minimal installation and also I did not have php.exe set as an environment variable, so i did that too and also in the php.ini file i needed to write the zend library first before the pear one.

And this was it, TA-DA, it worked.
