I would imagine you're mismatching the IIS bitness and the SP bitness one
way or the other.

That would be an additional error and I guess that means you installed the
64-bit SP and are running 32-bit IIS (initially), and now that that's
fixed, the installer apparently didn't grant the appropriate extension
permissions either.

That has nothing to do with the file system, that's internal to IIS thanks
to it's "security" model. Imagine if you had to go to 4 different places
in Apache to tell it you wanted it to load a module. That's IIS.
