Error meassage on tar installs

[Madmp3zz]

I figured out my I was getting a white screen while installing tar games.
I needed to add ini_set("display_errors", true); to my config.php

Now i'm getting the actual error to show on install.
I have been using tarred games that I have installed fine in the past on other versions so the games are good.

I DO have safe mode off in my PHP.ini

Here's an example.

Warning: fopen(bartender.swf) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in \arcade\functions\tar.php on line 394

Warning: fopen(bartender1.gif) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in \arcade\functions\tar.php on line 394

Warning: fopen(bartender2.gif) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in \arcade\functions\tar.php on line 394

Warning: fopen(bartender.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in \arcade\functions\tar.php on line 394

I see you're running some (local?) windows-server:
'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forum/arcade/tmp/bartender.php' I think the mix of slash and backslash is a problem here... ?

Yes I am Z.. local here at work for the guys that get NO cudos..
I give em all a way to relieve their stress by playing games. :)

But what is causing that to happen?
What file can I edit to fix the issue?

I'm pro-longing a complete reinstall. Only because my issue is only with the tar install of games.

[MrZeropage]

no idea yet, as I never used local windows server for this
