I had the exact same problem. After trying many many things I made an experiment: I selected the directory where my dnn files are and I added all possible and imaginable users and gave them all possible and imaginable permissions.

Then it finally worked.

I'm working in a new version of IIS and was still struggling after all these familiar suggestions (and many successful installs over the last several years).

Here's another possibility:
Check the Advanced Settings on your IIS Application Pool to ensure that Network Service is, in fact, the Identity being used.

Change the app pool user to point a user that has permission to that file. This worked for me. See the link above if you don't know how to do that.


Good luck
