I’m doing a first time install of DNN, following the tutorials at dotnetnuke.com, and I keep getting stuck. I have Windows 8 so I’m having trouble getting answers from Google, so here’s my problem…

When I launch the install wizard for dnn it looks like this:

The stylesheet and images are clearly not loading, and the error console looks like this:

So alright, maybe it’s a permissions thing. I check the properties of the folder tied to IIS and I see it’s Read Only:

But the setting is stubborn and no matter how many times I uncheck the setting and apply to subfolders/files

enter image description here

It always goes back to saying it’s Read Only. I even tried forcing the change from the command line:

This morning I started to think maybe I’m chasing the wrong lead. Maybe there’s some IIS or DNN setting I’ve overlooked. Unfortunately I’m out of my depth. I’m trying to install DNN so I can learn it, so this is all new ground for me. This is where you, the great people of Stack Overflow, come in. Please halp! Thanks.

    You might check to see if you have STATIC content enabled in IIS?

    To do this, go to start, run, type Add Remove Programs and then click on Turn Windows Features on or off

    Under Internet Information Services go to the World Wide Web Services section, Common HTTP Features and make sure Static Content is enabled.

    Update:
    Can you install this HOTFIX and see if that resolves the issue? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/980368
