Sitecore SIM Installation permission error

Question

I am trying to install SIM version 13 rev 1404021 using Administrative priveleges

When i click on Grant button it give me error that " you dont have neccessary permission set".

Also i have given full permission to Network Service,IUSR, IIS_USR and network to the folder

C:\Inetpub\wwwroot

Kindly let me know whate else permission need to be given inorder to run sitecore instance manager succesfully.

It may be caused by bug in SIM that doesn't get actual SQL Server user account (LocalService or custom) and thinks that it is always NetworkService. So work around is to switch your SQL Server service from using LocalService or custom account to NetworkService.
