If you contact your hosting company, they may be able to resolve that for you.

Is there a way to change this setting without access to the MySQL database? I host with a small company and haven't been given MySQL admin access. If I do get access to something like phpMyAdmin, do I just run a SQL command?

There is just one minor incompatibility. If you notice, the second line: this->requireWriteable( CIVICRM_DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . $dir, prepends the directory separator to the directory path that the script will check to see if it is writable. Which ends up being something like this to the system: "/C:/inetpub..." The breaks the process as the Windows OS doesn't understand this path. So all you have to do is just delete the prepended directory separator.

One method is on post ID 11 (http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/?p=11). The post content includes a CiviCRM tag [civicrm component="event" id="1" mode="test" action="info"] If you are familiar with CiviCRM on Drupal or another platform, there is a similar URL format for an event's registration page, where you specify the CiviCRM module path and event ID. For example: http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/event/info&id=1&reset=1 Be sure you have Online Registration enabled for your event for the page to appear. Thanks for the question, I hope it works on Windows and Wordpress just as well. You can find an example on the CiviCRM 4.1 Demo site on WordPress at http://wordpress.demo.civicrm.org/.
