I just finished building up a new web server (2k8 x64) and have installed 'URL Rewrite' and 'Application Request Routing' but noticed that the 'URL Rewrite' option in IIS Manager is missing.
I messed around for a little while by re-installing both modules repeatedly and in different ways and then gave up.
I returned later, only to find that the icon had 'somehow' appeared.
Does anyone have any explanation for this ?
Thanks in advance.

After installation, you will find the URL Rewrite option under the HTTP features section in IIS settings. Now, you can add own rewrite rules. This also allows importing rules like from . htaccess.
To see if the URL Rewrite module is installed, open IIS Manager and look in the IIS group - if the module is installed, an icon named URL Rewrite will be present.
You can install it from here then restart your IIS. It worked jsut fine for me.
The only time I've seen this happen is when you've opened IIS Manager, when you haven't had the IISRewrite module/patch installed.
Then you close/open the manager and it appears.
(In fact, thats what happened to be, and how I found your question!)
