SEO Friendly URLs for CubeCart in Windows

I have a client hosting CubeCart on a Windows server. Unfortunately the built in Apache 2 mod_rewrite rules that come bundled with CubeCart don't work in IIS/Helicon.

Simple fix...

Edit your httpd.ini with the following.

[ISAPI_Rewrite]
RewriteRule .*?/cat_(\d+)(?:\.[a-z]{3,4})?([^?]*)(?:\?(.*))? /index.php\?_a=viewCat&catId=$1?2&$2 [I,L]
RewriteRule .*?/prod_(\d+)(?:\.[a-z]{3,4})?(?:\?(.*))? /index.php\?_a=viewProd&productId=$1?2&$2 [I,L]
RewriteRule .*?/info_(\d+)(?:\.[a-z]{3,4})?(?:\?(.*))? /index.php\?_a=viewDoc&docId=$1?2&$2 [I,L]
RewriteRule .*?/tell_(\d+)(?:\.[a-z]{3,4})?(?:\?(.*))? /index.php\?_a=tellafriend&productId=$1?2&$2 [I,L]
RewriteRule .*?/_saleItems(?:\.[a-z]+)?(\?(.*))? /index.php\?_a=viewCat&catId=saleItems?1&$1 [I,L]
