Permissions on folders

Hi
Evaluating the trial version 2.7.
I created root folders as c:\folder1 and c:\folder2

What system acls permissions are required on these folders to allow FileVista to access these root folders.
I was getting this error 

"An error occured: 
Attempted to access a path and is not on the disk" 

I had to add the "network service" and "system" accounts to these folders for it to work.
Is this correct?

Cheers

You should give the executing identity "Modify" permission on those folders. The default executing identity is the user ASPNET for Windows 2000 and NETWORK_SERVICE for Windows 2003. 

You can find out the exact name of the executing identity by running the web setup wizard setup.aspx. You will need to edit the file filevista/App_Data/filevista.config and temporarily set the value of IsSetupComplete key to 0 so that you can run setup.aspx. You will find the necessary information on the first page of setup.aspx, you shouldn't proceed to the next pages. Don't forget to set the value of IsSetupComplete key back to 1 after you get the information.
