Running Local Windows Server

Is anyone else running a local windows server with vb 3.6.7 and ibProArcade 2.61 ?

I'm running into a problem when installing games using the zip and/or tar installer.
Seems like the installer is mixing up the path.
You'll notice the path at the bottom has \ and / slashes.

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

I run a test local forum and have no problem

[MrZeropage]

maybe you set the serverpath in config.php to the path using / and not \
just an idea...

[Madmp3zz]

I just check the config.php and it's all good.
Tried using both ways, and removing it all togetherr and still get the same error.

I think it's time to do a complete re-install..
I hate when this stuff happens..... GRRRRRRR

[Madmp3zz]

I just did a COMPLETE install on a new machine and get the same error.
I have NEVER had so much of a problem getting this to install before.
I've attached my Config.php and copied my PHP.ini

WHAT THE HECK AM I DOING WRONG????

PHP.ini

<?php
ini_set("display_errors", true);

maybe you should use the other option here:

// $config['Misc']['forumpath'] = 'c:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\vb3';
$config['Misc']['forumpath'] = '';

Try Placing The Attached File In The Web Folder
Then Calling it for the Path

[Madmp3zz]

I ran the PATH.PHP and get the same thing that I've tried using in the past.

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forum

still stumped as to why the tar installer is flipping it to /arcade/tmp/My_Game.php'
