Webwiz Access database upgrade problem

I am trying to install Webwiz forums 10.03 and upgrade my Access database from version 7.9. I follow the installation wizard and select 'Upgrade from Web Wiz Forums 7.x', then 'Microsoft Access', then enter my database name and path.  This is where the problems start. If I click on 'Test Database Connection', it is successful and when I click 'Next' the wizard returns to the 'Select Installation Type' screen for some reason.  If I don't test the connection and click 'Next' then I get an 'An Error Occurred Writing the Database Settings File' error with a message to check my permissions for the database directory.  This directory is already used for my current Webwiz 7.9 Access database so I know the permissions are OK.  Any advice?

Thanks.

Still no luck.  The permissions all appear set correctly (read,write,execute all allowed or value '777') on this directory.  I am doing something different than the instructions though as I am installing Webwiz forusm 10.03 beside my old 7.9 version, but in a different directory under the root.  I wanted to get the new version up and running before deleting the old one so I made a copy of the old database, renamed it in the same directory.  Could any of this be causing the problem?

You can not set or see permissions on a Windows server using FTP, so your FTP program reporting '777' for the permissions means nothing on Windows. Setting permissions with FTP is something that can only be done on *nix servers.
