Rebol CGI on IIS6?

Anyone uses Rebol as a CGI on IIS? I did it before, but I cannot make it run today.
I put rebol.exe and test.r files under wwwroot, configured .r files to run by rebol.exe as cgi.
I gave everyone read/execute access to both files. test.r file start with #!rebol.exe -cs also tried #!rebol.exe -cswiv (no window, no install etc)
rebol.exe process stays open on background, and no response at all.
Any idea?

Hmm somehow IIS ignores the command line parameter -cs. So rebol.exe starts as a console in background.
I tried to give it from the IIS properties window and also from first line of the script. But no chance.

Ok. I got it work.
It worked when I set executable path as
"C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cgi-bin\rebol.exe" -cs %s %s
    
Note that the path is quoted. parameters aren't.

I have problems when uploading a file. I'm not sure what is wrong.
    
my send.html file is like this:
    

    

    
and the getfile.r file is:
     data: read-cgi
even if I do this:
     data: copy ""
     read-io system/ports/input data 1024
it waits forever and nothing happens.

Search for the "decode-multipart-form-data" function in the CGI section of the tutorial at http://re-bol.com.
