For whatever reason, occasionaly folder or file permissions become corrupt on a web server and requires them to be reset. If you exxperience a permission denied error, for your own sanity, I suggest resetting the permissions for the entire DNN root for Network Service account. Here are the steps:

Resetting folder/file permissions

1. Launch an instance of Windows Explorer
2. Navigate to the parent of the DNN root folder that you want to reset permissions for
3. Right-click on the folder and choose Sharing and Security...
4. Click on the Security tab
5. Click the Advanced button
6. Set the permissions you want - for DNN, Network Service to have full control
7. Check the box labeled Replace permission entries on all child objects with entries shown here that apply to child objects
8. Click OK
9. Click Yes in the dialog box that appears asking if you are sure
10. Wait while Windows recursively applies the specified permissions to all sub-folders and files
