Best way to do is, to set the permissions directly on your server, via your host cPanel.

After installation is done, change them back to 444 for both mentioned files

It's a Windowz server.

"Numbered" permissions like "777" or "444" don't apply.
If I suggest you edit any file(s) make a backup first - I'm not perfect and neither are you.

Those files are set to read only in windows speak.

you know if use windows explorer and you right click on a file name and select properies there is a read only box that you can tick.

So you need to untick that on these files and once the installation has completed make them read only again.
