Comment (by eduplessis):

 Here is the details for the workaround :

 The problem arises when using multi-site in wordpress.

 Once wordpress is installed and run on an IIS server, we can make WP to
 generate the rewrite rules to be used for IIS using this page: http
 ://worpress-website.com/wp-admin/network/setup.php

 Usually, you just have to copy & paste the rules into the web.config file,
 BUT there is one rule not working well. Here is what we must replace to
 make it work :

 Original generated rule :

 {{{
 <rule name="WordPress Rule 5" stopProcessing="true">

     <match url="^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-(content|admin|includes).*)"
 ignoreCase="false" />

     <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:2}" />

 </rule>
 }}}


 Modified (working) rule :

 {{{
 <rule name="WordPress Rule 5" stopProcessing="true">

     <match url="^[_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/(wp-content.*|wp-admin.*|wp-includes.*)"
 ignoreCase="false" />

     <action type="Rewrite" url="{R:1}" />

 </rule>
 }}}


 That's about it! I'm pretty sure there is another way to get the rule
 working. Maybe just changing "R:2" to "R:1" without modifying the
 parenthesis would also work.

 Problem was that, with the original rule, WP redirected to "admin" instead
 of "wp-admin" which leads to a 404 page not found.

 This was tested using WordPress 3.1 on IIS 7 and Windows Azure.
