Windows IIS doesn't use the .htaccess file that's distributed as part of the USU zip-file. You'll need to convert the Apache .htaccess directives to their IIS web.config file counterparts to enable USU to operate in that Windows IIS environment; see this link for sample instructions.

thank you for your reply, converting .htaccess files to webconfig is a laborious task and does not work correctly But after a bit of digging about i did find an easy way to resolve this https://www.helicontech.com/ Helicon Ape
I installed the program, it integrated with the site and it found the htaccess files. i turned on ultimate URls and it worked simples.

sorry this thread was put in the wrong place hopefully an admin will move the thread to a more relevant place... .

Thanks to you for posting that link, as it could help others that are trying to use USU on a Windows IIS server.
