Not for IIS settings or php.ini. They changed some settings in PHP.INI such as cgifix etc that was supposed to works but it did not. The problem is it still looks for a valid folder and file name. In my research I found that is is because of another setting in IIS I believe something about scriptmapping or so. My host was not willing to turn it off.
So even though ORIG_PATH_INFO works and PATH_INFO still does not exist it will not allow a non valid URL request with out a supporting folder or filename.
BUT I did find out that ISAPIReWrite is availible. I have never used it before so it is quite intimidating at first glance for me.
I did a modest test of URL ubbthreads?ubb=cfrm to ubbthreads.php/forum_summary.html which works perfectly.
It may take me quite some time to learn. It is supposed to be a IIS replacement for APACHE mod_rewrite which I don't know either.

Anybody out there that has used ISAPI Rewrite?
