I'm installing dotnetnuke on a computer with Windows XP Home.  I was under the impression that this was possible although their might be some extra hoops to jump through.  I am at the stage of setting the security properties for the physical directory where my dotnetnuke site lives, but I do not have complicated sharing settings enabled even though it's on a  NTFS formatted drive because  I am running XP Home.  Is there any way I can get around this to set the appropriate security settings for dotnetnuke on  this directory on an XP home environment.  I'm referring to the following step in the dotnetnuke installation guide:

The next step in preparation for installing DotNetNuke is to set the NTFS file
permissions for the Asp.NET worker process. This step is required as DotNetNuke needs
to be able to create directories and files. The User Account that needs to be given
permissions is different depending on which version of Windows you are using.

In Windows 2000/IIS5 the account to use is the {Server}\ASPNET User Account,

in Windows 2003/IIS6 the account is the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE
User Account.
To set the correct File permissions use File Explorer to locate the physical folder you
used in (1) above. Right-click on the folder, and select “Properties”, and choose the
Security Tab.

 

 

There was actually a work around for installing IIS, and that is working.  Unfortunately XP Home does not allow for disabling Simple Sharing settings.  I was hoping I might find another work around for this.  Thanks for the response.
