If you are getting this error at Joomla 1.5.x Admin Extension Manager (Extensions > Install/Uninstall > Browse… > Upload File & Install) :

It is indicated that some invalid paths setting found in the Joomla configuration file. You should try open up “configuration.php” and reset the paths for:
1) $log_path
2) $tmp_path

Hey, how about Windows Server 2008 with IIS7 server? Seems not working for my case …
2 Mick Genie: You have to type FULL path for :
$log_path=D:\xxxx\yyy\logs instead of $log_path=/logs
and
$tmp_path=D:\xxxx\yyy\tmp instead of $tmp_path=/tmp
