Make sure, the ASP.Net account (local "Network Service" by default) has full file system permission for your web site, obviously it is not allowed to create the module directory.

The module requires to create a subdirectory in bin folder, which seems to fail. 

Make sure, the ASP.Net account has full file system permissions for /bin folder.

Hello sebastian . So sorry for disturbance .. I gave the NETWORK SERVICE account ( on server 2003) full control for the whole directory of DNN website .. but for sorry this didnt solve the problem.. i'm sure of one thing : this has a relation with IIS .. because : when i try to install my module on a test PC that runs a local DNN website , it made it with no problems.. when i try to install it on the webserver that hosts the DNN site through IIS , i got this damn error ... please suggest any tries i can do ....
