    Okay let’s get first lot of support questions out of the way
    Windows 2012 R2 (VPS)
    PHP 5.4
    Wordpress 4.2.4
    Read FAQ / Read Instructions for IIS
    Tried both Medium recommended profiles
    Removed and reactivated HMWP (just in case)
    recycled app pools after each change
    flushed cache

    Now:
    IIS rejects quite a number of rules the plugin creates
    1 – Plugin generates duplicate rule “names” like HWMP Plugin146
    Confirmed – after troubleshooting proved IIS was correct by changing the name on one of the duplicates to HWMP Plugin146a – error goes away, but this happened for 8 rules (4 duplicates)
    2 – missing [ or ] on:
    rule name=”HMWP Dir_List12″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^(((wp-content|wp-includes)/([A-Za-z0-9\-\_\/]*))|(wp-admin/(!network\/?)([A-Za-z0-9\-\_\/]+)))(\.txt|/)$” /
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”index.php?page_num=999999999″ appendQueryString=”true” />
    </rule>
    Troubleshooting there are matching [] in the match, IIS must be looking for additional items to be bracketed (did not attempt a fix) confirmed the error from the IIS GUI Rule Test
    3 – Rule contains a form that IIS does not accept
    <rule name=”HMWP Style138″ stopProcessing=”true”>
    <match url=”^template/main\.css” />
    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”/index.php?style_wrapper=1&XCGZF_hide_my_wp=1234″ appendQueryString=”true” />
    </rule>
    Confirmed – the string =”/index.php?style_wrapper=1&XCGZF_hide_my_wp=1234″ contains “&” symbol. If I remove it the error goes away, I assume this will break the login page.

    I look forward working through this with you.

    Checked with Sr. support and it seems like there’s some issue with IIS config rules. We’ll be fixing this in the upcoming versions of the plugin.

    Is there a timeframe on next version as I cannot use the plugin?

    Sorry for the inconvenience,

    We have started working on this issue and it will be fixed in next version.

    Until then try disabling: full hide mode and disable directory listing.

    Hope this help.

    Any update on fixing this for IIS , plugin is not usable on IIS no matter what you turn off. Plugin generates illegal characters. I understand you need time to resolve this, but I don’t think it is unreasonable to be given a timeframe considering IIS is supposed to be supported and clearly it isn’t, since it cannot generate a valid config that can be loaded.

    Both sets of errors are still there. Tried the latest download from codecanyon and the beta file posted above.

    1 – error: The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

    <action type=”Rewrite” url=”/index.php?style_wrapper=1&yFpB_hide_my_wp=1234″ appendQueryString=”true” />

    2 – error: contains an unmatched ‘[‘ or ‘]’.

    The expression “^(((website/wp-content|website/wp-includes)/([A-Za-z0-9\-\_\/]*))|(wp-admin/(!network\/?)([A-Za-z0-9\-\_\/]+)))(\.txt|/)$”

    so far, plugin unusable on IIS

    Come on, it is now November we are going on three months that your plugin has not been in a working state for IIS. This is very poor considering this is advertised as a plugin compatible with IIS and it simply isn’t working at all nd you don’t seem to have any intention of fixing it.
