When I attempt to install the following component - com_phocagallery_v2.7.4.zip onto my Windows XP desktop I receive the following error:

JFolder::create: Could not create directory
Warning! Failed to move file.

Any suggestions

Hi, you should check permissions and ownership of files and folders on your PC, try to search this forum or joomla org forum or google for "permissions" or "ownership" of files and folders.

I have no experiences with permissions or ownership on XP (only on linux machines, I am using XP too but never have problems with ownership or permissions on localhost) so really no idea there :-(

I have manged to resolve my issue.

I discovered that the $log_path and $tmp_path where incorrectly specified in my configuration.php file. It was pointing to a location that did not exist. Once corrected the component loaded successfully.

Thanks
