We have discovered that this was a permission problem in the temp directory we change the temp directory to allow Anonymous Internet User (IUSR) account to have permission to write to the C:\Windows\Temp\ folder.
However the problem now when you run the update the first time you get the following error.
Upgrade Plugin
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/dashboard-widget-manager.zip
Unpacking the update
Deactivating the plugin
Removing the old version of the plugin
Could not remove the old plugin
If you attempt the second time you get the following error
Upgrade Plugin
Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/ajaxd-wordpress.1.19.2.zip
Unpacking the update
Could not copy file
Of course this looks like a permission problem in the plugin dir I will get back to you on this after we play with the server a little more.
Thank You

IIS servers are always tricky. WordPress runs best on Apache servers. A LAMP stack is simplest, but WAMP stacks work pretty well too.
English? LAMP WAMP?
I have multiple blogs running on Windows, but only one of them causes upgrade problems.
LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP
WAMP = Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP
WordPress is designed for a LAMP server.
Hi there,
I also get this message when I what to upgrade a plugin.
“Could not remove the old plugin”
I use windows webserver 2003, IIS, with PHP. WordPress version is 2.7.
I have read a lot of possible solutions, non of them did work.
How can I find more detail about the problem? Where can I find log files? And things about temp directories and permissions?
Thank you!
