Try download and installing rewrite_amd64.msi.. I was facing the same issue, but after installing rewrite_amd64.msi for IIS.. it worked for me.. Hope it helps.. :)

Adding the config file to the build folder worked for me

where is this web.config located, I publish with VS 2019 to IIS and it load up the app but only root and no routs work. In the SPA public folder I see a web.config and change that adding this OP xml but no change to SPA behavior. in the wwwroot the VS 2019 Publish feature is creating a web.config also but that one is write protected so how do you guys do this?

Hello, i have react app deployed on iis with asp.net. I had the same probleme, my website worked perfectly but i can't refresh my page, so i installed url rewrite and added web.config but it get worst, i can't even log in to my website or anything else. Can someone help me please?

The issue for me was that web.config was not being copied into the build folder, I updated my github workflow like so:

   - name: npm install, build, and test
      run: |
        yarn install
        yarn run build
        **cp Web.config ./build/Web.config**
        npm run test --if-present```
