ASPNET or Network Service account on Vista Home Premium

Hi guys,

I'm trying to install DotNetNuke on Microsoft Vista Home Premium. I
already have .NET framework 2.0, Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server
Express installed on my PC. To install DotNetNuke, I'm following
instructions here http://www.vbnetexpert.com/DotNetNuke/DNNVersion3/InstallingDNN/tabid/83/Default.aspx.
I'm stuck on following

- Give the ASPNET (WinXP) or Network Service (Server 2003) account
Read, Write, and Modify permissions on the directory you unzipped to.
See the Host Settings page, ASP.NET Identity under the new Site
Configuration section to be sure.

Now I'm on Windows Vista Home Premium. I cannot find ASPNET or Network
Service accounts. What do I do now? How can I create them on Vista
Home premium? Can we do that on Vista home premium? Also, if I cannot
create any of these accounts on Vista home premium then is there any
workaround to acheive the above ?

I've searched internet and tried many different things, none of which
worked. So I will really appreciate any idea/help. Many thanks for
your time and help.

Save this code as "identity.aspx" :

--------------------
<%@ Page Language="VB" %>
<%@ Import NameSpace = System.Security.Principal %>
<script runat="server">
    Sub Page_Load()
        Dim tmp As String = WindowsIdentity.GetCurrent.Name()
        Label1.Text = "ASP.NET is running as the account : " & tmp
    End Sub
</script>
<html>
<head>
    <title>What account is ASP.NET running as ?</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <asp:Label ID="Label1" Runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label>
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>
-------------------

....and run identity.aspx in the root directory.

That will tell you which account ASP.NET is running as.
Then, give that account Read, Write, and Modify permissions.

NT Authority\System machine account is the ASPNET machine account on Vista,
which you'll need to add to the folder or files in question using NTFS
Security tab.
