install modul error

Hi,

I am using XAMPP and everything seems to work except installing a module

Trying to install a shipping module I get this error msg

Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: unmatched parentheses at offset 36 in ~/includes/controllers/ctrl_module.inc.php (Line 12)
Fatal error: Class name must be a valid object or a string in C:\XAMPP\htdocs\litecart1012\includes\controllers\ctrl_module.inc.php on line 16

What PHP version are you using?

php version is 5.4.4
