php iis-7 windows-server-2008 file-permissions

I need a PHP script to have writing permission in a directory. PHP 5.3 is running as FastCGI under IIS 7 with windows server 2008 as OP. On my php error logs, I got "permission denied" when the script attempts to write a file.

How can I sort this out? I tried to give all right to IIS_IUSR and to IUSR_myservername (with a right click on my folder) but it didn't work.

Any help would be very appreciate,

Regards,

Julien
