"Express" is greyed out in the installer

Vote:
 

I want to install EPiServer CMS 5.2.375.7 with the example web site and database. But the installer only has "Application Files" and "Custom" clickable; "Express" is greyed out. And when I go into "Custom", only "Core Files" and "Public Templates" are available - there's no "Example Site" listed.

I see the link to the blog post for doing an express installation from a command prompt, but that page says it requires SQ Server installed locally. My SQL Server is on the network.

How do I get the example site installed?

The application files includes a tool called "EPiServer Installation Manager". It should be available from the start menu. Run it and choose to install a site with database from the options. In the wizard select public templates.

I tried this just now (using "Install Site (SqlServer)"), but the install failed with "Error - This access control list is not in canonical form and therefore cannot be modified." I didn't set up an access control list in the wizard...

Here's the log from the installer window:

The error occurs when the installation process is about to set permissions for the worker process account and inet user on the site folder and the VPP folders (uploaded files). Some googling indicates that the error is caused by corrupted permission entries and a lot of hits refers to the use of NewSid [http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897418.aspx].

Here's another forum post describing a similar problem, but in the registry. http://forum.sysinternals.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=6260 

Is it by any chance a cloned machine you are testing on?

This happends in a WM Ware (mirrored configuration) environment. If you are running Windows XP you can fix this by adding the ASP.Net user account access rights on the folder c:\episerver\sites. Remember to choose Advanced and Replace permissions entries on child objects.

got this problem when trying to install a episerver 6 R2 and the problem was that the vpp folder was in the same folder as the site. Made a new vpp folder outside of inetpub and it worked.

I also had this problem when I was trying to install the Database and site from EPiServer Deployment Manager. 

I do not know how to resolve it. I have tried the above solutions but still the same issue.
