Anyone using wordpress with permalinks on iis7 on 2008 R2

I have built a site that has to run on Windows Server 2008 R2, the server has isapi rewrites 3 full version installed.

Now I usually put wordpress sites on linux servers and use a simple .htaccess reg exp

CODE

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

that allows me to use the permalink /%postname%/ which no matter how many levels deep will display the permalink correctly and also allow the admin to work.

A similar rule in isapi is

CODE

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

#RewriteRule ^[^/]+/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]

but this only works for 1 level i.e. www.site.com/something/

The site has upto 4 levels so I now have

CODE

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/[^/]+/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/[^/]+/[^/]+/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+/?$ index.php?p=$1 [NC,L]

This displays the pages but messes up the stylesheets, .js files etc as they all come out as 404's.

Also, the admin doesn`t work as this also goes to a 404.

Is there any way to make the rules ignore anything that contains wp- so that the admin works (wp-admin) and the outward facing website can still find wp-content and wp-includes?

Thanks
