IIS 7 on Win 2008 R2 does not display images by default

This might be the solution:

Check the Static Content checkbox under World Wide Web Services / Common Http Features.

In my case the feature was already installed. What solved the problem was:

Uncheck the Static Content checkbox under World Wide Web Services / Common Http Features, then restart the server
Check the Static Content checkbox under World Wide Web Services / Common Http Features.

I found that, with a .NET 4.0 site, the following entry in the web.config caused my images to not get served up:

  <system.webServer>
     <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
  </system.webServer>

Removing the runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" solved the problem for me.
