   Hi all,

   I've followed the guide on setting up permalinks for wordpress on Windows\IIS7.
   They work great except for one issue; when accessing the website directly (www.website.com) I get a 404, If I append /index.php it loads fine.

   Navigating the links seems to work ok - have I missed something?

   Here's my web.config:
   

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <configuration>
       <system.webServer>
   <rewrite>
       <rules>
           <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
               <match url=".*" />
               <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                   <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                   <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
               </conditions>
               <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:0}" />
           </rule>
       </rules>
   </rewrite>
       </system.webServer>
   </configuration>

   If I change the Permalink to /category/%category%/%postname%/ it works, has something changed in the latest version of wordpres?
