because of the bug on PATHINFO.

You can control the behaviour with the 'PreferModuleName' property.
But that only works if there is a default module.

Well, time is of course an issue, but more importantly, I do not have ISS 
to test with.

I think that PATHINFO needs to be corrected in  custcgi.pp:

Procedure TCGIRequest.InitFromEnvironment:

Something like 
If Pos('IIS', ServerName)>0 then
   // Cut binary name from PathInfo

It will then also be fixed for FastCGI as it reuses this routine.

It should not be a problem.
