so I’m working in the IT industry.
I encountered a weird bug the other day
IIS7 could not save simple settings such as mime types and default documents on the account of “cannot open configuration file”
so i looked around a bit and found this hotfix from Microsoft
which you can order and get by mail with password protection.
for you corporate IT girl, you may want to make sure Windows Update service is activated before running the hotfix
a restart is required post-update
and it works!
one thing though : it appears that all sites are stopped after the restart so you may need to restart them, weird but this what i have experienced.
