Update Failed: Could not create directory (WordPress IIS)

Hi, I tried the Windows Compatibility Fix, made a little extra process, but now get error:
Update Failed: Could not create directory.
Previously before the fix, all I got was the error listed in this article:
Update Failed: Could not create directory. gp-premium/backgrounds/functions
Running Wordpress on Windows (IIS). IUSR and IIS_IUSRS have required permissions as well.
Also after trying to run the update after the Windows Compatibility Fix plugin, my Generate Press Plugin has disappeared after trying the GP Premium update from the plugins section.
This is a permissions issue with your server. Unfortunatley I don't know enough about Windows server to have a specific answer. Are you using a localhost or a live server?
