Hope that helps!

Hi, thanks for the response, didnt help me though, most likely lack of skills. the excact error I receive is in this screendump https://imm.io/Wosv. I have asked host one.com as well, but the issue is on local pc, out of scope. The site is stillhoff.com, the duplicator performs the packages, but I have to ftp them to my local wordpress folder maually.

What am I missing, any idea?

The installation guides also looks a little different, when entering the install.php from frontpage this is how mine looks, in this screendump https://imm.io/WoyA. After postin above I tried all over once again step by step, plus I tried to unzip maually as well, which I was not allowed due to a restricted file. I have set windows w7 secutiy to lowest level, I′m administator of the computer…
According one.com, they cannot set basedir to off if this is required?
Really hope for help as been strugling all week about to give up.
regards

Hi DoubleD75. In Wista, I “think” its the same, its easy to try out, see below.
BTW, you should get out of that vista…, just did a std. upgrade tp win7 on another pc from Vista to WIN7, no issues.
Also, mine was an elegant themes, running https://www.stillhoff.com

Below is sequence in win7.
1: In controlpanel, chose “security & settings”
2: Choose user acount control setting
3: Change setting to lowest security level, “never notify”
4: Perform restart as these changes require this
5: Try install again (worked for mee.

I made a screendump of the actual win7 screens on the following link security level instantwp install
