On my development-server I've extended my website with a 3rd-party module (WachtersNetSitemap).
I've downloaded the skin-file and installed it using the Wizard Extension Installer.
Now I want to do the same thing on the production-server.
However, when installing the module I get this error:
access to the path C:\DotNetNuke\bin\WatchersNetSitemap.dll'is denied.
Further on the same error for the DesktopModules-path.

I've granted full rights to everyone on the server. What could be the possible cause?!

Thanks in advance!

it's definately a permissions error, and I suspect you're running on windows 2008r2 or windows 7 and are seeing the problem due to the "virtual" nature of the default account used for application pools (see http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Blogs/EntryId/2420/Windows-7-Windows-2008-R2-cross-application-pool-isolation.aspx ). If so, explicitly grant that account modify permisions (or else change the application pool to use the network service as per prior IIS versions)
