Not sure how Instant WordPress handles Apache and file/directory permissions (but Instant WordPress sounds very cool and it’s on my to do list) but that’s usually a permissions issue.
In your Windows Explorer locate the wp-content directory and try making it world writeable by granting Everyone Full control.
It’s a bit lengthy but http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727008.aspx looks like a comprehensive walk through.
Note: Normally I wouldn’t suggest that but it’s a localhost installation and I think it should be fine.
(…It is a localhost installation right…?)

thank you Jan, yes it’s om my computer. I changed security setting on wp-content folder per info in the link. I did not define objects though.
When I try to auto upgrade I now get the same warning twice:
Warning: copy(C:/Program Files/InstantWP_4.1/iwpserver/htdocs/wordpress/wp-admin/js/cat.dev.js) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Program Files\InstantWP_4.1\iwpserver\htdocs\wordpress\wp-admin\includes\class-wp-filesystem-direct.php on line 200
I am not techie at all, so don’t understand what requirement means below “allows markup: a blockquote code em strong ul ol li. Put code between ‘backticks’. But I tried!
Here is php in filesystem.direct:
`<strong> <ul>
<ol>
<li> ‘function copy($source, $destination, $overwrite = false, $mode = false) {
if ( ! $overwrite && $this->exists($destination) )
return false;
$rtval = copy($source, $destination);
if ( $mode )
$this->chmod($destination, $mode);’
return $rtval;
</li>
</ol>
</ul>
</strong>`
I’m guessing some or all of those “false” need to be “true”?
thanks in advance for your advice
