is it a local install? looks like your TMP path is messed up in your global config...

could be a myriad of things in your WAMP/MAMP/XMAP setup... maybe the temp folder in your TMP path isn't being created... because of permissions, or your PHP handler... maybe Joomla can't extract it because it can't call the unpacker...
for local installs I just unpack stuff myself, stick in a directory, and use the "Install from Directory" option in Joomla... not worth troubleshooting why your local installation can't "upload" things IMO...

I did try installing from local directory and it could not do it either. I'm using IIS so it isint WAMP, XAMP, MAMP.
I did find a premissions problem by comparing to anouther site on same server. IIS_IUSRS and IUSR both needed to be in the permisions list with read, write, execute.
I got it resolved and I've been able to install extensions.
