   Hi there,
   I run WP2.6 on XAMPP ontop of a XP box. After install I first tried to create a post with a picture an received the "Unable to create direcotry" error. I checked the write permissions but the error resists. I digged around an found a nice bug... My directory structure is set up with trailing numbers like this:
   f:6_Web_Dev\xampp\htdocs
   I useing this kind of structure since years an had never a problem - until today. If you set up your WP please check the "Miscellaneous Settings" >> "Uploading". The setting "Store uploads in this folder" contains the path. I my case it looked like this:
   "f:6_Web_Dev\xampp\htdocs\pages\wp-content\upload" what was totaly wrong. I tried to correct it and experienced that WP interprate the "" secuence in my path! To store the correct path in the db I had to key in the following:
   "f:\06_Web_Dev\xampp\htdocs\pages\wp-content\upload". WP sores the correct value "f:6_Web_Dev\xampp\htdocs\pages\wp-content\upload" afterwards in the db.
   I took me quite a while finding this one - so i thought it could be helpfull. ;-)
   Regards,
