Kentico CMS runs on both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. On both systems, you need to
add the Write permission to the website's folder as described in Disk Permissions article.

On Windows 7, you also need to change the Anonymous authentication settings as described below:

1. Open IIS manager, select your site and double-click the IIS -> Authentication icon.



2. Select Anonymous authentication from the list and click Edit. In the pop-up dialog, choose
Application pool identity and click OK.




Please note: You may need to turn off the UAC (like on Vista) or run the Web Installer or Visual Studio as administrator.
