It looks to me that you haven't setup well your hosting. If you have on your ISP a Hosting environment using Plesk, I have to tell you that you can't install DNN on the root (httpdocs) path by permission restriction.  Plesk diod not allow to change the permissions on the httpdocs folder!
You must have to set the following permissions:

Virtuell directory must have read access to the root (httpdocs) path, Application settings must have execute permissions for scripts and executeables. Allso allow to use parent paths.

Folderpermissions from your DNN root path (httpdocs) must have read permissions for IIS user and applicationpool user must have change, write, execute and read permissions.

Also on Plesk mostly the databaseOwner is not 'dbo' and you have to change this setting on the wizard or web.config file to the database user.

Please notice that if you have a new install that was failed , please delete the database user and database, and recreate it.  Then reupload all files and re-check all permissions before you rertun the install.

ShoutCastStats Module for DNN

It's not just that it won't install for me; it won't install for Softsys Tech support either. Take a look at the communication below from Softsys. It had a screen capture of the error which was thrown by attempting to install the "Telerik" module. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to attach the image. I think somebody at DNN ought to give them a call and work it out. It's beginning to look to me like you have a bug in 6.0.1.
