MrTWS you didn't understand me correctly.
I have downloaded the 'software', but for it to work I need a special piece of software installed on the server that the rest of my website runs on. That software is called Helicon ISAPI Re-write and it costs $99.
Maybe re-read my post?

Support for the IIS 7 Rewrite Module is almost complete with full functionality except for the extra security features to block access to certain directories which is not supported with IIS 7 rewrite Module, but this does not affect the rewrite features.
Hopefully it should be ready for release later this week, but want to do allot more testing first to make sure there are no issues.
One advantage is that the IIS 7 Rewrite Module is that it is free, but it only works with IIS 7. ISAPI_Rewrite 3 Full does is not free but will run with IIS 5, 6, and 7, and does work significantly faster than the IIS 7 Rewrite Module.

Brilliant Work. Thanks Bruce.
Your really a superstar. Web Wiz Forums is wonderfully refined with so many great features. I really appreciate your work.
You mentioned that the free MS IIS 7 re-write could perform worse that the Helicon ISAPI re-write, do you think that once you've completed all your tests you could give a little detail on how much of a performance hit and what areas would suffer in particular please?

The performance difference isn't enough to register, but when developing on our local network here there is a slight lag when using IIS 7 rewrite Module. When you remove the URL Rewrite Module or use ISAPI_Rewrite then it feels faster and reponsive.

The Web Wiz Forums URL Rewrite download has been updated to also include a web.config file for The Microsoft URL Rewrite Module for IIS 7. If you have The Microsoft URL Rewrite Module for IIS 7 installed on the server just place the web.config file in the root folder of Web Wiz Forums 9.56 or above for the URL Rewriting to work. http://www.webwiz.net/webwizforums/webwizforums_downloads.asp

Is it possible to use the Lite version of ISAPI_Rewrite?
It says .htaccess files aren't allowed, but if the contents were copied into ISAPI_Rewrite's config would it work?

Yes it will work with the Lite version but is more difficult to setup. You would need to copy the contents for the .htaccess file to the httpd.config file found in ISAPI_rewrites install directory. Under the 'RewriteEngine on' line you need to place the follwoing:-
If Web Wiz Forums is not installed in a root of a website then you will need to include the folder name eg:-
However, you should be aware that as this is global to the whole server it may effect other sites and pages on the server.
