When I get to the stage where I enter the databse details, I hit "save and continue". Then I get the following errors:
Warning: fopen(./sites/default/settings.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\hshome\brasstacks\cityofwaterfordbrass.com\includes\install.inc on line 236
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at D:\hshome\brasstacks\cityofwaterfordbrass.com\includes\install.inc:236) in D:\hshome\brasstacks\cityofwaterfordbrass.com\includes\install.inc on line 618

Cmod ?
Have you right permissions (cmod) in your directory and files?

Hi, grungefreak1,
chmod is a command in a bash or shell to grant write/read-permissions for any programm so they can change the content of folders.
First of all, you grant permissions to the settings.php and the default folder. They have to be in ./drupal-x.x/sites/default/settings.php where the to x's stand for your drupal release.
Do you know how to do that?
Greets,
Shel
P.S.: Read the Install.txt in the parent directory of drupal. There you find some hints.
It should be...
Hi, Ole,
actually grungefreak1 had permitted the permissions. Otherwise he shouldn't get so far to see that the error message or am I wrong?

Solution...
Had a same issue and this helped (from INSTALL.txt)
Especially this. Do not do mv but cp. I got the impression from the installation text that the settings file should be renamed but it should be copied...
cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php
===============
2. CREATE THE CONFIGURATION FILE AND GRANT WRITE PERMISSIONS
Drupal comes with a default.settings.php file in the sites/default
directory. The installer uses this file as a template to create your
settings file using the details you provide through the install process.
To avoid problems when upgrading, Drupal is not packaged with an actual
settings file. You must create a file named settings.php. You may do so
by making a copy of default.settings.php (or create an empty file with
this name in the same directory). For example, (from the installation
directory) make a copy of the default.settings.php file with the command:
cp sites/default/default.settings.php sites/default/settings.php
Next, give the web server write privileges to the sites/default/settings.php
file with the command (from the installation directory):
chmod o+w sites/default/settings.php
So that the files directory can be created automatically, give the web server
write privileges to the sites/default directory with the command (from the
installation directory):
chmod o+w sites/default

Right one!
That's the riddle's solution.
cp and not mv it.
This has not worked for me.
This has not worked for me. I'm installing drupal on windows. I copied the file so that now I have both default.settings.php and settings.php in the ./sites/default directory. I've tried giving both the IIS_IUSR and NETWORK SERVICE users full control over the entire directory. I still receive Permission Denied on line 236 of the install.inc file.
Any advice?
Resolved
On Vista (and I presume Windows 7/Server 2008) they changed the IIS account and group to IUSR and IIS_IUSRS. I have previously granted permissions tot he group IIS_IUSRS, but not to the IUSR account specifically. Apparently, IUSR needs permissions as well. If you have this same problem and are running drupal via IIS, try granting permissions to IUSR.

@grungefreak1: Same here. The following worked for me http://drupal.org/node/735642
