Windows with a control panel, mySQL and mod rewrite

[FMDuck]

I'm just starting to get seriously into full Server 9 and web integration.

What I hoped for was to have everything on one Windows server (single-server installation) with a control panel (Plesk prefered) and ESS but what I'm finding is that I can't because control panels for Windows seem to affect any mod rewrite and I consider that critical.

So I can't have FM Server 9 on Windows with a control panel and do mod rewrites all on the same server. As I understand it, if I want a .

I've found one post where somebody got mod rewrites to work with Plesk running but we've had no luck with it.

I need to try to stick with Windows to stay within my engineers element. Also, preferable IIS but not required.

Does anybody have any guidance you can give me on this? If I can't do what I'm looking for, are there any suggestions for the best, most cost effective route to go?

Thanks
