Local admin, admin on that computer, same thing.
Try installing somewhere that doesn't have spaces in the file name as Program Files does.
MySQL / PHP / most unix stuff is funny like that. I had to move my installs around to get some of the extensions working, wouldn't work with the paths with spaces.

But no /forums/install/install.php, hence the file not found.
I'm assuming that is default apache htdocs location?
You need to either move your forum stuff in to there or change the DocumentRoot variable in the httpd.conf to where the forum files are.

try putting them in webroot, but to be 100% sure without experimenting just look in your apache conf file as to where your default root is

do you have mysql running? you need to create the instace in mysql, then use that as the db name, download the GUI mysql admin tool, or use phpmyadmin if you have that installed
