I downloaded gforum-1.2.3 and installed (WinXPProSP2) per instructions in the README file. Set up 'gforum' DB in SQL Server (2000) and created 'gforum' ODBC connection. Ran install.cgi from CMD using Perl 5.8.4 (AS build 810) to C:\dev\gforum: no errors reported.
Created IIS (6) virtual directory, added .cgi to Application Mappings to use the perlIS.dll. Brought up http://localhost/gforum/admin/admin.cgi in Firefox, clicked on Next.
Got "Forum Setup" Step 2", filled in MS-SQL, host:localhost, SQL DB: gforum, SQL Username and password, etc. Clicked on Next and get the error:
I couldn't find any way to "enable debugging in setup".
The C:/dev/gforum/admin/GForum/Config folder does have a Data.pm file in it - since its contents look useful, I'm attaching it if helpful.
The DB appears to have valid tables constructed (no foreign keys?), so the ODBC looks OK.
I've fiddled with directory and IIS permissions but continue to get the error. No errors reported in Event Log.
TIA for your help.

Line 471 of setup.cgi is "$CFG->save();" followed by a GForum::Template->parse_print of 'setup_third.html'. I'm guessing that it is getting ready to move on to Step 3.
A fatal error has occurred:GForum::Config (576): Unable to move 'C:/dev/gforum/admin/GForum/Config/Data.pm.tmp.576.1108657041.6811' to 'C:/dev/gforum/admin/GForum/Config/Data.pm': Permission denied. at C:\dev\gforum\admin\setup.cgi line 471.
Please enable debugging in setup for more details.
