Hello,

I’m not sure why you get the error but you might want to check out this topic on how to set up WP on your localhost: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-on-your-windows-computer-using-wamp/
You can also use xamp instead: https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/how-to-install-wordpress-locally-for-pcwindows-with-xampp/

I hope this helps.
Thank you!
