I’ve just installed 1.5 under IIS and hit the exact same problem. The fix is to edit wp-blog-header.php. It is missing a test for EDIT.PHP from an inspection of PATH_INFO and wrongly reporting a 404 back to IIS.

In wp-blog-header.php change this block starting at line 16:

if ((isset($_GET['error']) && $_GET['error'] == '404') ||
((! empty($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])) &&
('/' != $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']) &&
(false === strpos($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], 'index.php'))
)) {

and add in this extra line:

&& (false === strpos($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], 'edit.php'))

so that the whole thing looks like this (spaces are not important):

if ((isset($_GET['error']) && $_GET['error'] == '404') ||
((! empty($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'])) &&
('/' != $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']) &&
(false === strpos($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], 'index.php'))
&& (false === strpos($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'], 'edit.php'))
)) {

Refresh the edit page and it should all be groovy.
