are you hosting the webserver locally?

Change it to what?  Right now it is set to rw-r-r ... and no I use a hosting company

Go to the top of you're install file and put this

[code]
$permit = 0777;
chmod("../conf_global.php", $permit);
chmod("../cache", $permit);
chmod("../cache/lang_cache/", $permit);
chmod("../cache/skin_cache/", $permit);
[/code]

when you're done installing
make a [size=10pt][b]copy[/b][/size] of you're install.php file
erase everything in it
and replace with this

[code]
$permit = 0644;
chmod("../conf_global.php", $permit);
chmod("../cache", $permit);
chmod("../cache/lang_cache/", $permit);
chmod("../cache/skin_cache/", $permit);
echo "Permissions Changed Back to " . $permit;
[/code]
and then of course open that copy in your browser
