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.
