Hello,

How i can set redirect url for virtual directory in iis 7.0.I have installed lates url rewrite module 2. ?

I could explain my problem with exsample.

I have website on my iis 7.0 server:

www.mysite.com

I desided to create virtual directory sales under my site which is pointing to website root directory.Now I need create redirect url for the vdir. The vdir is pointing same virtual root directory as my site root is

The big idea is that i can write on browser www.mysite/sales and i will automaticly redirect to url www.mysite.com?productid=200.

I tried to make redirect with rewite url for vdir(not website), but I always get this error message :

cannot add duplicate colletion entry of type 'rule' with unique key key attribute 'name' set to "test".This happens when i am pointing for virtual vdir and try to add rule.

I can add rules to website level,but rules doesn work. I mean url www.mysite/sales gives me follwing error. I know that key is unique I checked it from web.config.

This kind of feature was really easy use in IIS 6.0, just point vdir with your mouse and set properties-->a redirect to url.

Please some one explain what is right way to do it in IIS 7.0
