Installed Gallery last night on my locally hosted Win2000 IIS (I know I know, you don't support Windows even though you have installation instructions for it. :lol: ). All has gone well through the installation and configuration process. But now at Step 4 I have these two errors:

Error: You must create empty file .htaccess and chmod it 777 before proceeding.

and Error: Directory c:/winnt/temp does not exist. Please create it.

I have tried to create the .htaccess but windows will not allow a file name to begin with the . character. Is there a work around since I under stand this file is not used by IIS?

In the Wizzard the directory is entered correctly as C:\winnt\temp but the back slashs are made to slashs when the error is reported.

Is there any way of saving the config.php then manually editing it? The wizzard only allows navigation to previous pages for correcting. :(

Any help would be appreciated.

To create .htacess try this.

Open a command window (start -> run -> cmd) then navigate to the directory you want the file in.

Type 'edit .htaccess'

ALT + F then S to save.

Hope that helps with part of your problem
