13106	index.php/ PATHINFO forced when mod_rewrite/iis7 permalinks not available	bloggus	dd32	"(Created by dd32: Originally reported in #13104)
Hi,

I have been using WP and WPMU with IIS6 and compatibility with mod_rewrite for years. No problem.

Also have been testing out laterst beta1 and today I decided to make a clean install of nightly build of the code.

This are the issues I discovered, divided in three section:


1. - Single Site

After installing I realized that in the permalinks section I'm forced to use /index.php whick is hardcoded. dd32 explained in the list that this is because I'm not runing IIS7 or Apache. I had to add a filter to remove it. I think most of all this is wrong to force index.php on anybody and this should be removed. I would have to add the filter in all themes for example and there are stil many using IIS6 with some mod_rewrite compatible software.
