   So I recently installed 2.9.1 on a server running Win Server 2008 / IIS7 and the latest PHP 5.3.2RC1 VC9 compiled binaries.

   I have been having weird results when uploading images inside of wordpress. They upload and create thumbnails correctly, but the original image does not receive the correct permissions.

   Here's a screenshot of the permissions of the original uploaded iamge

   Where IIS_USERS group I assume is any anonymous unauthenticated internet user.

   Here's a screenshot of the error message in firefox when attempting to look at the original image uploaded through wordpress.

   I'm not getting anything useful when searching for this topic so hopefully someone knows how to fix it.

   A bit of searching without the wordpress keyword brought up this solution:

   PHP uploads files to a temp directory and then moves the file to your directory.

   By default, it will choose c:\windows\temp.

   Allow IIS_IUSRS appropriate permissions for the temp folder (read maybe write?) and it should solve the problem

   All the info here was very helpful, though adding IIS_USERS to c:\inetpub\ with Modify, did not solve my issue.

   I had to explicityly grant Modify permission to user IUSR. I'm not enough of Windows guru to know why granted the group was not sufficient - I'm a bit hazy on Windows 2008 RC2.

   One way to find which users is being used to write files, is to look at permissions of files in c:\windows\temp, (only if you have access to box).
   I run on a VPS and have full admin access.

   Also, use a php script <? phpinfo(); ?> to get a dump of your PHP setup, it will show you the location of temp directory (if not c:\windows\temp).

   Pat.
