If you get this error after installing wordpress on IIS:

Directory Listing Denied
This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed

Make sure that under the defaul document tab in IIS for your website you have “index.php” listed.

Well, after 2 days trying to get this to work – I stumbled (googled) upon the following site:

http://www.binaryfortress.com/wordpress-url-rewrite/

Straightforward and simple!   If you’re running WordPress on IIS and want to remove index.php from the URL – this is easiest way to do it.

Hope this saves you a couple of days of confusion!
