I have IIS4.0. I set the properties in IIS4.0 on the cgi-bin directory to
c:\rebol.exe -cs %s %s and used .r for the extension for the script files.
You dont need the "!#c:\rebol\rebol.exe -cs" at the top of your script with
IIS. Now I had problems very similiar which I couldnt figure out until I
changed the form method in the HTML script from a method of "post" to "get".
Then it worked. The other concerns you may want to be concerned about are
the paths statements. Rebol doesnt understand win32 based path statements.
You need to make sure your paths conform to rebol recognized path
statements. I struggled at first with this also. What I did was made sure
I found a simple example and got it working first. I used the cgiform
example on the rebol web site. I suggest you use it to test IIS at first
when your setting it up.
