   Have you tried to disable all the plugins before doing the upgrade?

   No, I haven't - didn't know about that. I'll try it. Thanks!

   I disabled all plugins and tried again, but the installation still failed. The error messages all pertain to "Permission denied" and "No such file or directory". "Download failed - could not create temporary file."

   I'm pasting those error messages below. Any help much appreciated!

   Well it seems to be telling you that you have no permission to write to

   d:\inetpub\thepattysite\blog/wp-content/

   Now it looks like you are using IIS as your server, wordpress is expecting a unix platform by the looks of it.

   I suggest you do a manual update to avoid any problems. Or at least check the permissions but I cant see how the upgrade would work if the wordpress upgrade is designed for unix platforms.

   Thank you "Hotkee". In the documentation, I'm reading that there should be no problems hosting WordPress on an IIS server, and my current installation of 2.7 works fine. I can't find any information on there being a problem with 2.7.1 and IIS.

   Can you tell me more or point me to any more info?

   No I am not saying it cant be used - if from what you described before, the message appears

   d:\inetpub\thepattysite\blog/wp-content/wordpress-271.zip

   thats confused backslashes, forward slashes is a mixture of windows which uses backslashes, unix uses forward slashes.

   Windows does work with forward slashes too but natural form is backslashes. The upgrade should work in theory therefore.

   But your error is that you have no permission to write to one of the folders, or the user you are logged into windows is not abled to write to d:\inetpub\thepattysite\blog/wp-content/

   You need to check your permissions for that folder.

   Fix the permissions, then try auto update, but I personally prefer manual updating.

   Ok, thank you. I have no idea why the forward slashes appear in those paths.

   Will try changing permissions.

   No luck so far with changing permissions and using the automatic upgrade. I will try a manual upgrade, but first need to make a backup.

   It often seems like looking for answers in the Codex only leads to more questions. Plenty of information, but very hard to sort through, at least for me!

    I get the exact same error.
    I've suspected for a while that it's because I overwrote something on my hosting server (Godaddy, IIS) with something from my local machine (local windows server, IIS) while doing a mass "put" from dreamweaver. But I'm unable to locate the offending config file...

    Having just had the same problem upgrading a new 2.8 install to 2.8.1 I found that granting the Internet Guest Account (typically IUSR_computername modify access to the wordpress directory (in the Original post this would be d:\inetpub\thepattysite\blog\) seems to fix this problem.
    I would remove these permissions once you are done though.
