How to Force a Reinstall of the IIS URL Rewrite Module?

I had to uninstall and reinstall IIS on Windows 10. The IIS URL Rewrite module had been installed when I uninstalled IIS.

IIS came back fine, but:
1) The URL Rewrite module is not displayed for any site in the IIS Manager.
2) The URL Rewrite module is not defined in the applicationHost.config file.
3) The Web Platform Installer says the URL Rewrite module is already installed, and doesn't provide an option to uninstall it.
4) Clearing the Web Platform Installer cache does not help.
5) the Microsoft.Web.IIS.Rewrite dll is in the GAC, but cannot be uninstalled using gacutil.

Is there a way to force a reinstall?

Hi @RossJohnston-9447

You can uninstall it from the control panel first, and then use the link below to download and install: url-rewrite.

Remember that the web platform installer is going away... very soon. It will not be supported at all as of next year.
