Installing on Windows with IIS

I'm trying to install the latest version of Vanilla on a Windows/IIS7 server but I can't get past the installation screen of Vanilla.

I keep getting bounced back to the installation page. With no error message.

If I check the conf directory there has been created files like "conAD3F.tmp" with my config data but the config.php is empty. If I manually copy the content of one of the tmp files to config.php I still get the installation page but with some prefilled fields.

When I check the database I see that there has been tables created, and the user I created is also there.

In my web.config I tried to simulate the htaccess rewrite with:

<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <rewrite>
            <rules>
                <rule name="Main Rule" stopProcessing="true">
                    <match url=".*" />
                    <conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
                    </conditions>
                    <action type="Rewrite" url="index.php\?p=$1" />
                </rule>
            </rules>
        </rewrite>

but I'm not sure I got it right.

I'm using php 5.2.13
