I am working on a skin for my website and have have successfully uploaded that skin.

However now i would like to make some modifications and test them.  I am attempting to do this by modifying the HTM and CSS files and then using the 'Parse Skin package" function from the Host->Skins menu on my site.  The problem i am running into is when i attempt to use "Parse Skin package" i am getting the following error:

Access to the path 'd:\projects\MyWebsite\portals\_default\skins\MySkin\Horizontal Menu - Fixed Width.ascx' is denied.

I have checked that permission is read/write on the filesystem for the entire project directory.  I also set my the virtual directory in IIS to have write permission.  Lastly, i make sure the skin i am trying to parse is not being used on the website, as i thought that might be causing it to be locked.  All this to no avail.

Any idea what my be happening here?

This would be a DNN configuration issue.

You must be sure that the ASP.NET worker process account has full permissions to modify/delete files in your DotNetNuke installation.

If you manage the installation/server, you will want to make sure that the ASPNET account on Windows 2000/XP or the NETWORK SERVICE account on Windows 2003/Vista has full permissions to the entire DNN directory. This is done via the "Sharing/Security" options when right clicking on a file.

If you are on a hosted site, you might need to contact the hosting provider to have them make the change.
