Hello,

I am trying to do a new install of 3.3.7 on a Windows XP Professional machine.  The installation fails when it begins installing the modules (copy of screen text below).  Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks

As Cathal mentioned it is due to permissions.

The quick fix is to give the ASPNET account full permissions to your DNN installation directory.  The link cathal provided gives you more detailed instructions.
