MVC4 Project Images not displaying

I have just deployed my first MVC4 project from my development machine to my production IIS7.5 server and I am having some issues with getting the images to display correctly on the server.

Could this be an permissions issue in IIS7?

<input type="image" src="Content/Images/Product.png" runat="server" />

enter image description here

When I run this on my desktop the images are displayed correctly but when I deploy to the server I get the standard broken link image. I have confirmed that the images are on the server in the correct path.

I have also tried changing the src to use the tilde character src="~/Content/Images/Product.png" but it still does not work

This is also starting to effect the loading of the site.css file

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>@ViewData("Title")</title>
    <link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.6.2.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/modernizr-2.0.6-development-only.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

In Chrome I'm getting an error saying its not found and its not loading in any browse but I have confirmed its on disk. enter image description here

Something strange going on here...

Did you try prefixing a "/" at front?

<input type="image" src="/Content/Images/Product.png" runat="server" />

One more guess is you may have set the RouteExistingFiles property as true in the routing and because of that the css and images are not loading up.

This might be a problem with the absolute path. If the page is a view ActionResult and default routing rules apply then you can try "../../content/product.png" instead. Alternatively you may use helper @Url.Content("~/content/product.png"). You can always check the absolute path with your browser.

Also check your routing rules and see if it maps the content folder to a controller.

Where are you calling the image? if you are in one of the "View" folder you should try src="../../Content/Images/Product.png"

note: each .. means one folder up.
