IIS6 with ASP MVC Wildcard mapping

Ok, so Im one of the 100's of people having issues getting ASP MVC running on IIS6.

I have followed several tutorials including this and this, but still no joy. All I see is the standard IE 404 file not found page.

Now in order to ensure that my site is pointing to the correct location I have added a stub index.html file in the root dir. When I navigate to this file I get the 404 error, BUT if I turn off wildcard mapping for all urls through aspnet_isapi.dll then I CAN navigate to the index file.

So my question basically is, what gives?

Make sure that you are not checking the "verify that file exists" button on the wildcard mapping.

Then make sure you have a Default.aspx file in the root of your web with this code in it:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(Request.ApplicationPath, false);
}
