I'm running Windows 2003 Server (IIS 6).

I have downloaded and unzipped DotNetNuke_4.0.2_Install.zip
I put in in D:\DefaultIISRoot\dotnetnuke

I set the file security as suggested by the installer message:
"If using Windows 2003 - IIS6
- the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website "

In fact I gave full control to NETWORK SERVICE and ASP.NET accounts.

When I surf to http://localhost:8888/ (which is were I setup dotnetnuke to run in IIS Manager) and get the message:

"DotNetNuke Configuration Error
Could not find file 'D:\DefaultIISRoot\dotnetnuke\web.config'.

DotNetNuke has extensive file upload capabilities for content, modules, and skins. These features require custom security settings so that the application is able to create and remove files in your website.

Using Windows Explorer, browse to the root folder of the website ( C:\DotNetNuke by default ). Right-click the folder and select Sharing and Security from the popup menu ( please note that if you are using Windows XP you may need to Enable Simple File Sharing before these options are displayed ). Select the Security tab. Add the appropriate User Account and set the Permissions.

If using Windows 2000 - IIS5
- the {Server}\ASPNET User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website

If using Windows 2003 - IIS6
- the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website "

When I check the directory I see a 0 byte web.config.

What am I doing wrong?
