Hi,
"Unable to create new database .\C:\...." and i must comment this :

+        //$db_name = PUN_ROOT.$db_name;
-        $db_name = PUN_ROOT.$db_name;

        $this->prefix = $db_prefix;

you have found the code where this error take place.
In installation you can not use real filepath
C:\some\path\
because punBB adds the path to punBB root folder ( where is forum index.php )
in front of added link

so you can submit
./data/punbb_sqlite.db
and sqlite file will be created in subfolder /data/ to punBB root


But I got punBB to put sqlite file outside 'htdocs' (server document root folder)
by submitting
../../../data/punbb_sqlite.db
as the sqlite data file name


The alternative here, that might work, is to change the code you have in beginning of pubBB sqlite dblayer class:

Try remove or comment out that line:
// $db_name = PUN_ROOT.$db_name;
and for the database name you submit the FULL real path
c:/www/xxx/punbb_sqlite.db
