This is a known bug in instiki 0.9.1: it fails to create the storage
repository. There was some other common bug IIRC (not sure) but I can't
remember which one it was :-P

Please find attached an extract of the patch I applied for the RPA
package; maybe you can adapt it (there's a couple RPA specific things
there, but should be easy to spot).

You might also want to try to
  rpa install instiki
directly; that will install madeleine, bluecloth, redcloth and rubyzip 
automatically. Last time I tried it on win32 (XP) it worked fine.
[If you haven't got rpa-base installed, it might not be worth it, but
it's available at http://rpa-base.rubyforge.org just in case]

There were some talks in #rubyonrails about creating a bug tracker in
rails. Instiki's site might provide that too in the future :-)
