 * Hi, I’m stuck with multisite. Did everything according to the guide, created 
   three different language sites in “Network Admin”.
 * But what then? I cannot even access Dashboard of the newly created sites – there
   is IIS error: HTTP Error 404.0 – Not Found.
 * Please advise…
 * If I understand correctly, I should be fine with one WordPress installation and
   I do not have to add/copy/move any files to the other language sites…?

 * What type of Multisite did you choose? Subdomain or subdirectory?

 * This should work out of the box … there are just some lines to add to wp-config.
   php and in your case to the web.config, a logout and login and done. Please check
   carefully if you followed all the steps.

 * Sorry but you should ask the support of your hosting. I can just guess what’s
   going on there and this will not very helpful. A working multisite is a must 
   for the Multisite Language Switcher…
