Maybe you have short open tags enabled that prevents XML files with XML prologue to be parsed correctly.Note: if you have short_open_tags enabled you will face more errors in other areas of the system (like on RSS). I strongly advice you to disable this bad setting in your server's php.ini // Please don't double your post. Remove that subject : Error Install eForum

Then check the PHP Recommended Settings here : http://wiki.elxis.org/wiki/PHP_settings.Do you use XAMPP on you local setup?

I can not provide support for a local installation because there are might be 100 mis-configured settings in your php.
Your Elxis environment most probably is not correct. I can not provide support for a local installation because there are might be 100 mis-configured settings in your php.Make at least sure that:elxis temporary folder (tmpr/) is writeable by all (right click on folder -> properties -> security -> all user groups)Your php has XML and zip support (normally it should have)Delete the mis-installed component fodlers (components/com_eforum/ and administrator/components/com_eforum/) and re-try.If the installer fails, check the apache's error log and copy-paste here the generated error message.
