I cannot get the URL rewriting module to work on my local PC (vista x86)
i set up a new rule using the 'user friendly url' template.
a picture rather than 1000 words….
(the image contains 3 shots – creation, config and pattern test)

When i go back into the rule itself and test the patterns that IIS made for me, they do not work..
I have tried adding a wildcard script map under the handler mappings section but this makes no difference.
Has anyone seen this type of behaviour before? Or am i missing something very simple?

If you test the pattern you dont need the Host
I always just create Blank Rules and not had a problem that way since not sure if it matters though. I cannot discover why that rewrite wouldnt work perhaps other rules are blocking it?
