It might be some weird Windows thing. I know that some of the more
recent versions of Windows, in an attempt to be more secure, make you
jump through hoops to write to a file, even when the permissions are set
correctly. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a system with IIS so
there's no way I can test your code on that.
