Hmmm... 18 months sounds like you're looking at my posting of
instructions on how to do this in IIS. I undertook that when I was
working on my rev-to-web converter, and running the whole thing under
Windows server was just one more part of that masochistic process. The
instructions still work with the latest IIS.

But my advice, having been through this once, would be to ignore my
previous instructions (!) and install Apache. Forget you ever heard of
IIS, disable the service, and just let Apache take over the web server
tasks. You'll make your life much simpler, the server will be more
stable and easier to manage, and you may be able to reuse most of the
configuration files you have set up on your linux server.

...and remember, of course, that the line endings are annoyingly
different on Windows cgi scripts...
