Wordpress 2.6 Broken Permalinks

I upgraded to Wordpress 2.6 like a good administrator as soon as I was aware of the release. Shortly after, I noticed that clicking on an individual post was resulting in Wordpress being unable to find the post, meaning my blog was probably useless to a lot of you for a couple days. The problem was actually a bug in the 2.6 and my utilizing “index.php” in my custom permalink structure.
The problem has been fixed in Wordpress – if you are experiencing the same problem update to the latest release of wordpress (2.6.1 contains the actual fix) and things should be back to normal.
Sorry for any inconvenience!
Version 2.6.1 did not solve my problems with pretty permalinks. I still get the 404.
My site is on a shared hosting site running IIS.
Any ideas what it will take to resolve this issue?

I’m sorry it isn’t working for you. The solution I used was issued as changeset 8366 in the wordpress trac repository. The only suggestions I can think of are to triple-check that you’ve upgraded your entire installation to 2.6.1 or greater, that your permalink string is correct, and finally, that your files match what was in the 2.6.1 upgrade. The link is here: http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/8366 – maybe a manual patch is necessary.
Good luck!
