Trying to upgrade from 5.2.3 to latest version.  Downloaded DotNetNuke_Community_05.04.04_Upgrade.zip.
 
When I try to install I get "A critical error has occurred. Could not find file 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\DNN\Install\Temp\kpkhggvd\license.txt'."
 
Am I doing something wrong?

How can I upgrade?

 Stefan are you upgrading, if so from which version, or doing a clean installation?

Gentleman;
Please check your permissions
Whatever account your Default App Pool is using in IIS must have permissions against your web folder
Make certain you give everything EXCEPT Full Control on the web folder.
I just stepped through the upgrade from 5.2.3 to 5.4.4 and I can see the creation of the individual folders, and individual folders within those folders, as the installation proceeds.
If I do not give the permissions on the web folder for my Default App Pool account I get a couple of different errors including the "Cannot find license.txt" error.

HTH,
