How to use react router (createBrowserHistory) on Microsoft IIS to make routing working?

Question

I am using react-router (createBrowserHistory) for my react app.

Below is my code of

var ReactDOM = require('react-dom') ;

var ReactRouter = require('react-router');
var Router = ReactRouter.Router;
var Route = ReactRouter.Route;
var Link = ReactRouter.Link;
var browserHistory = require('react-router');
var createBrowserHistory = require('history/lib/createBrowserHistory');

var CL = require('./page1/1.jsx');
var Validation = require('./page3/3.jsx');
var Infos = require('./page4/4.jsx');
var Confirm = require('./page7/7.jsx');
var Upload = require('./page8/8.jsx');

module.exports = (

  <Router history={new createBrowserHistory()}> 
    <Route path='/' component={CL}></Route>                                                                                                                                     
    <Route path='/validation' component={Validation}></Route>                                                                                                                                     
    <Route path='/infos' component={Infos}></Route>                                                                                                                                     
    <Route path='/confirm' component={Confirm}></Route>                                                                                                                                     
    <Route path='/upload' component={Upload}></Route>                                                                                                                                     
  </Router>
)

Wen run IIS on local, I go to localhost on browser, I can get "CL" component and show on page, however, if I go to /validation, I will get

Failed to load resource: the server respond with status of 404 (Not Found)

Anyone know what need to add to IIS or my js code to make this routing work?

Here is a working web.config file

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <rewrite>
      <rules>
     <rule name="Rewrite Text Requests" stopProcessing="true">
         <match url=".*" />
             <conditions>
                        <add input="{HTTP_METHOD}" pattern="^GET$" />
                        <add input="{HTTP_ACCEPT}" pattern="^text/html" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
             </conditions>
             <action type="Rewrite" url="/index.html" />
     </rule>
</rules>
    </rewrite>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

I think you are talking about react-router or similar stuff below configuration on iis 7 works for me

<rules>
     <rule name="Rewrite Text Requests" stopProcessing="true">
         <match url=".*" />
             <conditions>
                        <add input="{HTTP_METHOD}" pattern="^GET$" />
                        <add input="{HTTP_ACCEPT}" pattern="^text/html" />
                        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
             </conditions>
             <action type="Rewrite" url="/index.html" />
     </rule>
</rules>
