Two things I see here:

1. Your TEMP folder is not in your Tiki path. When defining the Temporary Directory (from the Administration: General page), do not include the absolute path (i.e., C:\WINNT\TEMP\) — the directory should be relative to your Tiki install. Please see this doc page for details.
   
   
2. You're missing the local.php file. This should have been created automatically when you ran the tiki-install.php. Did you complete the installation process?
   You can always create the file by hand, if needed:
   
   Copy to clipboard

   <?php
   $db_tiki='mysql';
   $dbversion_tiki='1.9';
   $host_tiki='localhost';
   $user_tiki='YOUR DB USER NAME';
   $pass_tiki='YOUR DB PASSWORD';
   $dbs_tiki='YOUR DB NAME';
   ?>

HTH,
