Thanks Dragon.

IMPORTANT!

I had to change the permissions on my temporary directory to include some read/write permissions for the IIS users group.

I did use the IIS WordPress Web App Installer through the web platform installer.

It seems to me that when running on Windows, WP should copy the file into place and delete the file in the temporary directory, or WP could update the permissions after the upload is complete

Alternatively this could be looked at as a bug with the installer where it doesn’t either set the permissions on the temporary directory, or it doesn’t change the php uploads directory to be something in the uploads dir itself.

Anyone who installs WP for IIS on 2008 server will hit this problem.

I have changed the upload paths so they are consistent, however I still get the error when I try to bring up the URL string of the image file. When I go into the server, and change folder permissions on wp-content/uploads, the image appears. However, when I upload another image, I get the 500 error and even though the permissions on the server do NOT change. If I reset the folder permissions on the server side, the image appears.

Help!

Anything more specific than just a keyword search on Google?
