I'm not sure if anyone else has encountered this problem, but I had to add additional permissions in order for the portal 0 folder and files to be created. To summarize my situation:

* I'm using the 4.0.2 starter kit in Visual Studio 2005

* I'm installing to a HTTP remote location (Windows Server 2003) rather than a local file system location.

* The site builds correctly in VS 2005.

* I give the NETWORK SERVICES account full control over the remote DNN folder.

The problem occurs when install.aspx runs. Everything works correctly except that I receive an access denied error when the script attempts to create subfolder 0 in the Portals folder.

To correct the problem, I had to add a web.config file to the Installs subdirectory with an identity tag:

<identity impersonate="true"

userName="anadminuser"

password="anadminpassword"/>

Did anyone else encounter this problem and is there a better solution?

Thanks,
Grant.
