Is Vbulletin compatable with IIS?

I bought 3.0 some time ago and had to install Apache to get it to run. Would the current version be installable on IIS?

It will run on Apache fine. Just be sure to have php configured on your server. However, please note that IIS (just finally recently introduced php fast cgi support) isn't that well optimized for php yet, so you may see some performance issues on it (as compared to lighttpd or apache).

Id reccomend using Apache over IIS, not just for performance but for security too.

I'd like to move away from apache for various reasons, so running it on IIS is my goal. Is there a faq somewhere on how to do this with IIS in regards to which PHP version to use and how to configure the system? I'd like to read through that prior to a purchase.

I did had vbulletin installed first on a windows machine with Apache. That worked well.
After that I had to change to a hosted windows machine and I had to transfer vbulletin to this machine running IIS .... well it works but it seem to give you head heacks for any simple modification you want to make.
As a result ( since time is money ) I ended up with 2 machines : a windows for my asp code a a Linux running vbulletin. I never used any Linux server before but it seem to work extremely well.

My suggestion: If you can avoid running vbulletin on IIS - avoid it
