I had the same problem when trying to install a module from the gallery. Application pool had necessary NTFS permissions (Modify) on all directories. The workaround that worked for me was to download the module package from gallery web site to local computer and then install it from the Modules\Installed page using the "Install a module from your computer" link. Similar option (Install a theme from your computer) exists for Themes, so maybe it will work for you.
