I'm getting errors while installing modules (more than one) indicating that web.config could not be modified.  I'm wondering what web.config windows file permissions need to be set in order to allow modules to get installed ok (Internet Guest Account Write Access)?  Do I need any IIS permissions set as well?

Internet Guest Account write access to web.config seems like a security problem just waiting to happen, but I suppose I could temporarily grant these permissions if necessary to install software, and then tighten things up again if necessary.

Thanks for the help.  DNN 3.3.4

it is not the internet Guest Account, that needs write access, but the asp.Net system account, called ASPNET (WinXP) or Network Service (Win2003Server)

Also, just as a bit of additional information for DNN to properly function you should give access to the entire DNN folder to allow proper functionality.
