How to enable the write permission on web directory?

Question

I am writing an application which is daemon. It operates on a web-directory which is inside the inetpub/wwwroot/daemon_Folder. It will change the files there. The problem is that the folder manages to prevent the application from writing on it. I changed the permissions by right clicking it properties Window => Web sharing => Share this folder => then selecting the write permission and executables. I even changed the permission in Control Panel=>Administarative Tools=>IIS=>websites=>that_Folder=>permissions. But still I am getting "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt." when I tried to save doc file programmatically. Can anybody say how to achieve this?

Note: I am using windows-XP, iis v5.1,visual studio 2010,office 2010, .net 4.0,c#.

'Attempted to read or write protected memory' - this is not a folder permissions/privileges problem, it is a variation on 'Access Violation' - your code is trying to access unmanaged memory when/where it should not:(

Your answer is letting me to approach the center of the error. I am checking on it. And it seems true. – prabhakaran Aug 03 '12 at 11:02
Bull's eye. You are correct. The core of the problem is Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Document.SaveAs2 (Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word v14.0.0.0). I am going to ask about this in some other thread. – prabhakaran Aug 03 '12 at 13:39

I can't get you. Is it a direct comment or a sarcasm. – prabhakaran Aug 04 '12 at 08:56
It's sarcasm - I've suffered from Word automation myself, so I understand your pain Likewise, Excel automation:(( – Martin James Aug 04 '12 at 11:46
