Up next, getting Friendly URLs to work?
I apologize in advance if this is duplicate information. I just noticed the post date after typing all of this.

Requirements:
1. IIS must already be installed on the target system to successfully complete the instructions below.
Instructions:
1. Browse to
http://www.isapirewrite.com/
2. Download ISAPI_Rewrite Lite v3 (Freeware).
2a. Note: Freeware; Limitation is one config for all sites vs per site config)
2b. Note: PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE VERSION AND TARGET OS BEFORE DOWNLOADING/INSTALLING.
2c. Note: Yes, I know all caps=yelling, but you’ll be yelling yourself if you install the incorrect version.
3. Install ISAPI_Rewrite Lite
4. Open the ISAPI_Rewrite Lite program directory. (Where ISAPI_Rewrite was installed.)
5. Open the "Helicon Manager.exe" application.
6. Click the "Edit" button.
7. Copy/paste these lines from the ht.access file distributed with MODx installtion to the bottom of the text area and "Save":
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
8. Done. The rules are "live" -- restarting IIS is not required but always a good idea IMO.
Notes: According to the ISAPI_Rewrite forum the new(er) v3 is compatible with Apache mod_rewrite rules with few exceptions, which is a major improvement over v2 of ISAPI_Rewrite.
If you have problems getting this to work let me know and I’ll try to help. I have every version of IIS available to me -- well, everything except IIS7.
Hope this helps.
