Cannot write to mainfile.php

I have the following problem during installation:

Once I have installed everything according to the instructions and I try to go to "localhost/xoops/" then I get a installscreen. After following the first screens, where I even get green lights meaning that the right files/folders are writable, I got the following error:

"Could not write into mainfile.php. Please check the file permission and try again."

I have write permissions and I'm the Administrator (because it's local). What do I have to do?

Specs:
Windows XP Pro SP2
IIS 6
PHP v5.0.3
MySQL v5.0.2-alpha-nt

make sure the properties of the file:mainfile.php is NOT set to read only. ie right click on the file, select properties and uncheck the box read only.

As I have said, the file is writable, thus it is not set to read-only and the file is on my local pc (Windows) so therefore I cannot set the file permissions to 777.
