Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to review my question. I have successfully setup DotNetNuke before, but I'm having some difficulty now for some reason. I've tried both 4.5 and 4.4.1 versions and I receive the same problem with each. I'll first explain the problem and then note the things I've already looked at. Here is the error message:

---- Start Error Message ----

Access to the path 'C:\Inetpub\vhosts\campaignlogix.net\subdomains\dev2\httpdocs\Compression.config' is denied.

----- End of Error Message -----

The things I've tried and checked include:

1. File permissions - I've set NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE to Full Control (I'm on IIS6), I've set ASPNET to Full Control, and I've set both to Full Control (<--- how it is now) (oh.. and I made sure the permissions were propogating to all child folders/files)

2. I've set the website to run "Scripts and Executables" as shown on Page 6 in the installation guide.

3. I've set "Allow authors to upload executables" in the Front Page SE configuration.

4. I'd note that something seems to be wrong in the PATH, for example, the error message states: "...\subdomains\dev2\httpdocs\Compression.config'"  but in reality the Compression.config isn't located in the web root, its located in the 'Config' directory!

I think my main question is relating to #4 because that seems to be the culprit --- why isn't the Install.aspx looking in the 'Config' directory instead of the Root for this file??? I feel like I'm missing a simple setting somewhere!

Thanks so much for your help,
