[Craig Chant]

Well  I've provided everything you requested, but not had a reply from you, shall I assume Catalyst doesn't work on IIS until I hear to the contrary?

Patch please?

Loading the wrong URI is significantly different to doing nothing, no?

You haven't given us anything to help try to explain why!

Please can you give us the debug output from startup of the app + the debug logs of asking for /, and asking for /a/uri/which/does/not/work ? Also, please add a Data::Dumper::Dumper to the Catalyst::Engine::prepare_path method - one at the start to dump $env, and two near the bottom to dump $c->request->uri and $c->request->base just after they've been assigned to...

Cheers
