Installation Problem

I can install Dolphin ok until the last stage ("Permissions Reversal"). At this stage it states that the following directories and files have both read/write permissions and they should be read only. These are the folders/files:

The problem is that when I go to each folder/file to change the permissions - Dolpin doesnt recognize  and keeps stating the above. I am using Win XP and go to the folder/file, go to properties>security and then set it to non write.

When I click the SKIP button I get the following error:

It is basically a page with this php code / text.

not installed.
\n";
	if ( file_exists( "install/index.php" ) ) {
		echo "Please, wait. Redirecting you to installation form...
\n";
		echo "\n";
	}
	exit;
}
