The above is not completely true, it was the solution to the fatal error, but it was not the cause of my Permalinks getting corrupted.
I also installed the latest Joomla 3.02 a couple of weeks ago and that placed two URL rewrite rules within my IIS 7 setup!
I had not noticed the permalinks to be broken, because I probably did not restart my IIS7 until a few days ago!
After I disabled both rules, all was fine. Still wonder why precisely things went wrong and how to fix.

Found it!

The above Fatal error showed, after I changed html_errors = Off to On within php.ini.

After I switched it back to off, all my Permalinks worked again.

I must add that with all my WP sites, I first got the following error
Fatal error: Call-time pass-by-reference has been removed in D:\inetpub\wwwroot\mywebsite\wp-content\plugins\add-from-server\class.add-from-server.php on line 137

I resolved this by removing the & and I was able to go to wp-admin
I’ll reread what I found on this and hopefully find the reason why this suddenly happened and why. Must also be the cause of my permalink problem.

I have a 3rd website, which is not updated yet to WP3.5 and still on 3.4.2. It now also has the same behaviour as those on 3.5, so this has nothing to do with my upgrade to 3.5!
In the past few days I have been trying to make my first PHP program. In the beginning I was unsuccesfull, because I used the examples I found and these examples all used mssql as driver, while I use the sqlsrv driver from Microsoft. After I switched on display_error within php.ini, I finally saw what was happening. So I adjusted my functions calls and got my first php program to work.
However I must have changed someting within php.ini that probably is causing this permalink behaviour.

Anybody who can give me a hint? In the meanwhile I’ll reread everything I can find on how permalinks work.
Thanks

I am having the same error 403, after I change to the standard permalink all is fine. All other permalink options give me the error 403.
What happens if you change to the standard Permalink?

When I change my permalinks to standard then all works just fine.

Any other permalink format gives the error 403
