I have successfully installed DotNetNuke 3.2.2 (source) on my workstation, a Windows XP (SP2) machine.  I am now trying to install DotNetNuke 3.2.2 (install) on my web sever, a Windows 2003 Server (SP1) machine.  I have created the sub-directory (D:\InetPub\DNN_3_2_2), given Network Service full control of that directory, extracted all files from the Install ZIP file into D:\InetPub\DNN_3_2_2, renamed release.config to web.config and modified the SQL Server connection string in said web.config file.

When I try browsing the DNN installation, I get an file permission error telling me that I need to give Network Service modify rights in the root directory of DotNetNuke.  I check, and Network Service does indeed already have Full Control for the root directory.  The second time I try to browse the DNN installation, installation starts.  The database tables and stored procedures are created and desktop module files are installed.  It is during the installation of the default portal that I am having a problem.  The Host stuff is handled, SuperUser created, etc.  But when it gets to the default portal part of the script, it comes up with the error that it could not find part of the path "D:\".

Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?  I have actually tried this with both a SQL 2000 and SQL 2005 Express database, same results.  I don't thnk it has any thing to do with the database.  Not sure why it is trying to do anything with the root directory of drive D.

Thanks in advance,
