This is called "slash arguments" and IIS can not natively handle it. I ran into this issue setting up a Moodle <http://www.moodle.org> installation for a client. There is a 3rd party app you can install on an IIS server which will allow you to do this. It is free for a single website, but if you are virtual hosting, it costs money. It's called ISAPI Rewrite <http://www.isapirewrite.com/> I finally ended up building them an Win2K, Apache2, MySQL, PHP5 box so they could use Moodle to the fullest with slash arguments.

Um, no, you're wrong... it's called PATH_INFO and it IS possible on IIS, at least I have it working fine with 5.1 on windows xp. The trick is to install php with the isapi/cgi as an application mapping, and when you do that make sure the "check that file exists" button is unchecked. some additional information for cgi users http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=15197 according to the IIS 6 stuff, the scriptmap stuff works the same as the application mapping used to http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/iis/6/all/proddocs/en-us/ref_mb_scriptmaps.mspx make sure the MD_SCRIPTMAPFLAG_CHECK_PATH_INFO is set to NOT be checked, you want it to hit the index.php and ignore the path info :)
