Here is the warning I get just after installing latest version:
Warning: zip_entry_read() [function.zip-entry-read]: The bytes parameter must greater then zero in /home/removed/public_html/NOUVEAU/libraries/joomla/filesystem/archive/zip.php on line 238


Line 238 is:

$buffer = zip_entry_read($file, zip_entry_filesize($file));

When trying to open the component, it gives me this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /home/removed/public_html/NOUVEAU/administrator/components/com_akeeba/akeeba.php on line 68


[Edit]
Just found out that the server is running PHP 4.4.7 ! Will reinstall the site on another server.

Yeap, Akeeba Backup requires PHP 5.1.6 or greater, ideally PHP 5.2.11 or greater for smooth operation.

Funny, I thought MAMPP defaulted to PHP 5, but I guess I was mistaken. Thank you for getting back with the solution!
