Hello all,

I am currently having the following issue with my newest DNN installation; The error is as follows:

System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'F:\DNN\web.config' is denied.
at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath)
at System.IO.FileStream.Init(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, Int32
rights, Boolean useRights, FileShare share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options,
SECURITY_ATTRIBUTES secAttrs, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy)
at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare
share, Int32 bufferSize, FileOptions options, String msgPath, Boolean bFromProxy)
at System.IO.FileStream..ctor(String path, FileMode mode, FileAccess access, FileShare

at DotNetNuke.Services.Install.InstallWizard.OnLoad(EventArgs e)
at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive()
at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean
includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)
Return to Site. 

This is driving me crazy, as I'm pretty sure that I gave the Network Service identity full control of the DNN folder under F:\.  And even with the permission modification, I'm still getting the error; What am I missing?  Thanks.  if there is any more information you need, please let me know, and I will provide it.  I'm running this on Server 2008 R2 SP1.  Thank you so much to anyone for any feedback you have.  It is very much appreciated.

Apparently the ASP.Net worker process account (application pool identity account) assigned to the site's IIS application pool is missing the required file system permissions (full permissions including modify) or the web.config file itself has its read-only attribute set.

It is quite likely for Windows Server 2008 R2 that the ASP.Net worker process account is NOT Network Service but rather a pseudo-account or custom account. If you have control of the server to permit setting file system permissions yourself, try adding the pseudo-account "IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool" to the security tab for the installation's root folder and granting it full permissions on the root folder. Check that these same permissions propagate to all child folders.

Yes; I figured         that one out.  I actually changed the app pool account to network service, which has full control, so it's good now.
