mod rewrite in windows

    So, my programmer is telling me there's a problem moving a site from a Apache web server to an IIS web server because the mod rewrite function doesn't work in IIS. Is there any way to get mod rewrite to work in IIS?

    Keep in mind that I'm not a programmer and only know of "mod rewrite" because my programmer told me so. He doesn't know Windows, so I wouldn't expect him to know a solution, which is why I'm asking here.

    Thanks!

    Anyone familiar with Isape Rewrite? http://www.isapirewrite.com/

    If so, we've installed the lite version, but need someone that can help configure the software to integrate with the site it's being used for.

    I hope this is ok to post here - I'll gladly pay a programmer that can help us get this taken care of ASAP.

    I realize IIS won't have "mod_rewrite", but this similar IIS function, is it third party or built in? If it's built in, do you think it would accomplish the same end result? Do you know what this similar function is called?

    Hi,

    ISAPI_REWRITE is somewhat similar to mod_rewrite you could use httpd.ini for this instead of .htaccess file in apache webserver.
    Same regular expression format in used here also.

    I went on vacation and while I was gone the programmer got it working. I'm not sure how, but it works. Thanks for all your help!
