I have WAMP and Joomla installed on Windows 7.

I have made a virtual host outside of the www directory that houses a test joomla site.

I have also made a joomla component that I want to install and test on this virtual host.

I am having constant problems with permissions. I have given all users full access to the folder containing the files under the security Tab in Win7. It seems to me that when (Apache/PHP) creates a file it put restrictions on the permissions which does not allow it to delete or edit the file anymore so I have to manually go and delete the files when I want to uninstall my component.

Also, I cannot install the .zip - instead I have to unzip manually to the tmp folder because when I upload the zip in the Joomla Installer I get the same permissions problems as above.

How can I get rid of these issues once an for all?
