 Hello.

 I believe I've found a bug in WordPress 3.52 and 3.6 (and possible older
 versions, but these are the versions I've used).

 I'm running a WordPress Multisite website in a Windows IIS environment
 (yes, I'm a minority!).

 The issue is with the web.config code which WordPress provides to
 configure the URL Rewrite module, specifically with rule 4:

 {{{
 <rule name="WordPress Rule 4" stopProcessing="true">
     <match url="^([_0-9a-zA-Z-]+/)?(wp-(content|admin|includes).*)"
 ignoreCase="false" />
     <action type="Rewrite" url="'''{R:1}'''" />
 </rule>
 }}}

 I believe that the last line should say {R:2}, not {R:1}.

 With the web.config file configured as documented, I am unable to access
 the dashboard for any sub-sites, and no styling loads for the sub-sites
 either (presumably it cna't find it's CSS and other associated files).

 I've had this working without issues previously (last year), so I dug up
 an older web.config file. There were two differences. The first was that
 the newer file does not have a line referencing ms-files.php (I'm guessing
 it's been obsoleted), and the second change was that this rule used to say
 {R:2} (which works), while it now says {R:1}.

 WordPress provides the code for the web.config file in the Settings >
 Network Setup Page.

 Hope this helps :).
