Here's what i found out:
for file GalleryTemplate.class in moduels/core/classes
187 }
188 echo $dir; echo " this is the dir we are trying to create";// i added this
189 if (!$platform->file_exists($dir)) {
190 if (!$platform->mkdir($dir)) {
191 return GalleryStatus::error(ERROR_PLATFORM_FAILURE,
192 __FILE__, __LINE__);
193 }
194 }

apparently, it may be having trouble creating directories like these:

c:\data\smarty\templates_c\%%3177553002 this is the dir we are trying to create Error (ERROR_PLATFORM_FAILURE)
