Is there a way to allow .htaccess file in IIS windows hosting?

I'm using windows shared hosting with a wordpress site, and I used a theme that create .htaccess file which is not allowed in the windows hosting.
I don't need to simulate the .htaccess code, I just want to allow it to be existed not to run.
Is there a way to allow .htaccess file to be existed in IIS windows shared hosting?
for example: is there a way to allow it from web.config?
or a way to delete it automatically when existed?

Using Htaccess files on iis (windows 10)

I cannot find any information on how to perform URL Rewriting on IIS (windows 10). I develop websites on windows but have a linux server which uses a htaccess file for URL Rewriting.
The issue here is, I find it far too time consuming to manually enter rules into iis with the standard url rewriter. You can't just write them out in a text document like you can on a Linux server with htaccess files!?
Is there some way to use a htaccess file, web.config file, or ionic's isapi (or other) url rewriter on iis (windows 10) to write out all of my websites url rewriting rules? It seems that none of those software packages have support for this operating system/the latest IIS.
Thanks!
I had the same issue, but fortunately there is a handy shortcut in the IIS URL Rewrite 2.1 module that converts .htaccess files directly into the equivalent web.config;
In IIS, double-click on the URL Rewrite module
In the Actions pane, click 'Import Rules'
Paste the contents of your .htaccess file into the 'Rewrite rules' text box
Viola, your .htaccess rules are converted into IIS web.config rules
There is an article here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/azureossds/2015/04/23/converting-apache-htaccess-rules-to-iis-web-config-using-iis-manager-for-azure-websites/ that provides an illustrated step-by-step guide to the process. The article is specifically aimed at Azure, but I use IIS on Windows 10 for localhost dev and it works just fine.
All rules for the IIS URL Rewrite module are stored in text files, either your local web.config or the global ApplicationHost.config file. You can also use a custom config file like rewrite.config and include it in your web.config like:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules configSource="rewrite.config" />
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
IIS url rewriting is the same for all IIS Version since 7.0 on Server 2008 and nothing had changed in Windows 10, there are lots of resources about it out there.

How do I run a subdirectory on a seprate virtual directory on same server

I have a site, www.domain.com. I want to set up a blog which runs on a same server but in different virtual directory, and have it available a the domain www.domain.com/blog.
How would I go about doing this? If it were blog.domain.com, then it would be easy, but with www.domain.com/blog I'm not so sure.
I'm using Windows Server 2008 / IIS 7.
I have already been through these tutorial but If some one has better approach please do let me know
Tutorial1
Tutorial2
You should just be able to add it to the existing site. Something like
appcmd add VDIR /app.name:/<existingsite>/blog /path:/blog /physicalPath:/<whereYourBlogIs>
NOTE: appcmd is in the %windir%\system32\inetsrv\ directory on my machine.
Able to run subdirectory on seprate virtual directory using URL Rewrite v2 and Application Request Routing

How do I redirect a link to a JPG image on my IIS 7.5 server to a different drive?

Ok I am running Win 2008 Server R2 with IIS 7.5. My current directory structure is something like this:
C:\websites\index.php
C:\websites\images\image1.jpg
For example purposes, the URL to these files would be http://www.mysite.com/ and http://www.mysite.com/images/image1.jpg
I want to move the location of my images folder to D:, so it would look something like this:
D:\websites\images\image1.jpg
but have it so the URL stays the same at http://www.mysite.com/images/image1.jpg. Basically I want every link that goes to http://www.mysite.com/images/ to get it from D: instead of C: now.
How do I do this? Do I need a rewrite rule? How do I have a website (in this case mysite.com) in IIS point to two different directories, one in C:\websites\ and the other in D:\websites\ at the same time?
Thanks.
From the IIS Manager graphical user interface, you have to create a virtual directory called images in the root of your website and let it point to the images folder on the D: drive.

I cannot access files in IIS 6

I have a default IIS 6 install and I can access only .html files. If I create a html file I can see it on the browser. Any other files like ini for example are not visible (404). Any idea on what can be the issue?
Check the web service extensions are enabled (in IIS below the websites is a folder for them) for the content you are trying to share.
Check that the handler mappings is setup correctly (on the website properties)
