   I installed Wordpress 2.8.6 from my web host and when I try to automatically upgrade to 2.9.1, I get the following error.

   FastCGI Error
   The FastCGI Handler was unable to process the request.

   Error Details:

   * The FastCGI process exceeded configured activity timeout
   * Error Number: 258 (0x80070102).
   * Error Description: The wait operation timed out.

   HTTP Error 500 - Server Error.
   Internet Information Services (IIS)

   When I try to upload the files manually, I can never log back in and I have to dump the database and reinstall Wordpress. Any ideas why or what to do?

   At a guess, it's a memory issue. Your server configuration doesn't allow to run the script long enough to finish. I would try to increase memory_limit and max_execution_time settings in php configuration at your host (php.ini file) or contact yoru host to increase the memory.
