just finished with the manual install of umbraco 4.0.2.1
went to http://localhost for the first time and when the Umbraco Configuration Wizard page loads up the formatting is off and the Umbraco logo and how-to videos appear with a box and X in it. Does anyone know what the issue could be maybe something to do with permissions?
good timing, I just finished my first install myself and ran into the same issue. It was caused by a file access denied.
If you have IIS6.0 grant read access on your website's folder and all sub-folders to the user ASPNET, if you have IIS7.0 do the same but for the user IUSR instead.
Also the identity used by the application pool will require read and write access to a number of folder for Umbraco to be fully operational. Because I am lazy and wanted to get started right away I granted read&write to the whole folder... I will go back to this later but for now it works.
By default the application pool identity in IIS7.0 is "Network Service", so give that guy read/write
I'm running IIS 7.0 and I've given NETWORK SERVICE, IUSR and IIS_IUSRS users read access but unforntunately it did not resolve the formatting and image/videos access. Any other thoughts?
so you are able to pull an HTML or say a test text file... but you can't pull an image... I have never used IIS7.5 (or Windows 7 for that matter) but I would tend to think it's something related to an IIS setting or a permission issue,
NICE WORK Claude!!! that was exactly what I was missing. Its a new install of IIS 7.5 and apparently by default its not enabled. Once I turned on "Static Content" the images loaded up. Thanks for your all help. ;)

(failing to grant Network Service proper accesses can lead to this: http://forum.umbraco.org/yaf_postst6021_Process-ID-2824-Access-to-dataumbracoconfig-is-denied.aspx)

what's the error message when you go straight to one of the image? 401.3?

maybe you can double check the application pool identity, maybe it's set to something other then Network Service
correction on my previous reply I'm running IIS 7.5 on Windows 7 but I don't think that will make a difference.
When I try to go directly to an image I don't receive any error messages just a blank page, very odd.

they are referring to a "Static Content" feature that was not enabled...
