While installing on windows xp and in Requirements Check I'm getting the following error

Configuration File Writable: Not Writable
Settings File Writable: Not Writable


I've unchecked the readonly check from all files.
This is not a bug. They need to have read and write permissions to inc/config.php and inc/settings.php (chmod 777)
Although you have permissions in Windows and not chmod, although most FTP servers use the term chmod never the less.
If those above suggestions do not work, please ask your webhost how to allow the web server to write to those files.
if you host it in your localhost, just open your inc folder, and select the both files config.php and settings.php , and right click, and remove the read only check box, if it on web host, open your root folder using you ftp programe, then open your inc folder, and select the same two files, and right click, then click, properties/CHMOD , then mark all the check boxs, or type in the little box 777, thats all then try, and tell us about the results.
All the best,
Ahmed
