I have a brand new installation (from web installer) and have tried to install packages (Website starter, Basic website etc) and none seem to copy files to the xslt and customcontrols folder. I suspect no CSS has been copied either as this is the page I get:
Your logo/name Error reading XSLT file: \xslt\EmailAFriendLink.xslt UserControl /usercontrols/website/SearchBox.ascx does not exist. Error reading XSLT file: \xslt\Navi.xslt News & Events Error reading XSLT file: \xslt\NewsEventsSubNavi.xslt Photo taken by Sam Grady of G72 Sam Grady designed this for Warren Buckley. "This" idea was first created by the incredible Robert Brownjohn and has been copied many times since.
Thank you for installing the umbraco website package created and developed by Warren Buckley. This should website package be used to help you understand how all the components of an Umbraco site works.

Have tried this on two machines, and have given "Everyone" full permission to the directory. it is .NET 4.0 and ran aspnet_regiis -i to install asp again. What could be wrong?
Are you installing from the repository or local package? There is an issue in Vista and Windows 7 where the ZIP is 'blocked' after downloading.
If you right-click on your downloaded package ZIP folder > Properties > click the Unblock button at the bottom and then upload to Umbraco and try to install that may solve your problem.
It could be a file permissions error. Does the user that the website is running under (normally either NETWORK SERVICE or the App Pool Identity account, depending non your version of IIS) have permission to read, write and modify the /xslt/ and /usercontrols/ folders? It sounds like they're not being copied out of the package. Quick thing to try:
If you're running IIS7+, go into the app pool for the site, and set the pool to use the "NETWORK SERVICE" account, save the settings (for earlier versions of IIS its using that account already). Right click on the site root folder for the site and then make sure that the network service account has full control over the folder (normally you'd only set it for the specific folders it needs, but to troubleshoot the folder issues we'll just set it on the root).
Once you've done that, you can try installing the package and see what happens.
One other thing to check, is can you create, edit and save XSLT files in the developer section of the site? If not, it's definitley the permissions that are the issue!
Thanks for the help, I tried creating umbraco into it's own website, and it all seems to be happy once again. I was trying it within the Default Website first off. Will bear the suggestions you made in mind should I need to put it back to the default website some time.

I have tried it from both ways. I did remember to unlock the file too :( Any other thoughts?
It could be a file permissions error.
