Aaron, It doesn't necessarily have to be a permission issue. The error message can be misleading because this could also be an issue with the gallery url being used.

Install package failed Skip to navigation <http://localhost/Orchard14/Packaging/PackagingServices/InstallGallery?packageId=Orchard.Theme.FloralOrangeOne&version=1.0&sourceId=1&redirectUrl=%2FOrchard14%2FPackaging%2FGallery%2FThemes%3Fpage%3D2#Menu-admin> Package installation failed: There was an error installing the requested package. This can happen if the server does not have write access to the '~/Modules' or '~/Themes' folder of the web site. If the site is running in shared hosted environement, adding write access to these folders sometimes needs to be done manually through the Hoster control panel. Once Themes and Modules have been installed, it is recommended to remove write access to these folders. This is despite granting the App pool identity permissions just like v1.3. I noted from procmon when attempting to install a theme, several Queryopen operations to the following path and files within were called, but they end in NAME NOT FOUND, PATH NOT FOUND results. No access denied errors to hint other problems. E:\projects\collab\Orchard.Web.1.4.0\Orchard\Packaging Any clues to the nature of this error? Thanks, Aaron
