    Hello,
    I am new to WordPress installation. I was able to install WordPress on Windows Server 2012 R2 platform. The WordPress site is running under IIS. I am getting below error when I update plugins within WordPress wp-admin. I placed WordPress outside of wwwroot folder. It is resided on C:\Website folder which is completely outside of IIS environment. Yet, when I tried to update any Plugins, I am getting:

    Update Failed: The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.

    What user and what type of permission I should grant for the WordPress to update plugins?

    Thanks,
    Brandon.
