	I'm aware that for this option ISAPI_Rewrite 3 should be installed. Unfortunately my hosting company doesn't have it installed since they do provide http://www.iis.net/extensions/URLRewrite Can this module be used for webwiz forums as well ? Thank you !

	We have yet to test the IIS 7 Rewrite Mod. However from documentation I remember reading on it you can import rules that are in the Apache Rewrite Mod format, which the Web Wiz Forums URL Rewrite .htaccess file uses. Your only issue will be how to import the rules as it is something that needs to be done in the IIS Management Tool. Unless your host provides some other tools to do this. We will be looking ourselves at IIS 7 Rewrite Mod compatibility in the next few weeks, as of yet have not yet used it only brefily looked at some of the documentation on it, so can not say for sure at this point if a version of our Web Wiz Forums Rewrite Tool can be made avilable for IIS 7 Rewrite Mod.

	Have tried doing an import of the existing rules into IIS 7 Rewrite Mod and it does work to a certain extent. The security aspects have to be removed, and some alterations need to be made to the other parts. Allot more testing and tweaking is needed, but will hopefully have the rules in a downloaded web.config file for IIS 7 Rewrite Mod probably over the next week.

	Thank you ! my host admins have told me they will enable this option in the next 7 days (yep, they are quite slow on such things) and once they do that i will try it and post some feedbacks.

	So far I can tell you that the IIS 7 Rewrite Mod is no where near as good as ISAPI_Rewrite and is very difficult to work with. Even on Microsoft's own IIS 7 rewrite Mod documentation pages they recommend that you use ISAPI_Rewrite if you want more advanced functionality. Although I think we can get IIS 7 Rewrite Mod support in Web Wiz Forums it is not going to be as good as ISAPI_Rewrite

	This is my first post and I think web wiz forums software is really incredible. Anyway I've just purchased a license and an important reason why I bought it was because of the SEO benefits fo url re-writing, so well done for adding this feature. After setting up I went to add the url re-write feature only to find that I need to get some software installed on the server I use- the url re-write software cost another $99. Am I incorrect about this? There is a 'lite' version of the ISAPI Re-write but it looks like the Web Wiz functionality won't work with it. Would the 'lite' version work? If not then I'm keen to see the IIS 7 - MS version working sufficiently. Look forward to response/development of free solution. I really like Web Wiz Forums! Thank You! D

	If you have purchased the licence then when it is all completed (which I expect you have just done this recently) you will be able to download the Re-Write software from your licencing area
