error while running install.sql in community auth

That was it: Enable hooks. My next issue happens when I try "create user" from the menu. I am getting the following:

Severity: Warning
Message: fopen(C:\xampp\tmp\ci_sessionnvrdsil3kjd5698nccef9lse42u4r36s): failed to open stream: Permission denied
Filename: drivers/Session_files_driver.php
Line Number: 172

Does this mean that Community Auth is directly reading and writing to the hard drive? This was one of the things I was advised that could not work on Google App Engine. Any idea why I am getting this error (warning)? Or is that an issue with CI in general and my plan to move to AppEngine would never work?

CodeIgniter is what maintains your session, and if you're using the files driver then there is a read/write to the filesystem. If you can, switch to the database driver.

I'm curious, why do you desire AppEngine?
