Hi Todd,

We have 0 experience with Windows IIS, and this did the job for fixing the permalinks. Thanks for that !

The gift that keeps on giving!
NOTE: A web.config file is include with the WordPress-provided IIS version .zip file. IT DOES NOT WORK. But the file provided by Toddses above DOES WORK.
