Following are hacks I needed to add so i18n works on IIS. IIS soooo sucks, but what can I do when my customer uses it. This method is in sapphire/core/i18n.php file:
   protected static function get_owner_module($name) {
      if (substr($name,-3) == '.ss') {
         global $_TEMPLATE_MANIFEST;
         $path = current($_TEMPLATE_MANIFEST[substr($name,0,-3)]);
         // hacks for IIS -->
         $path = str_replace('\\sapphire/..', '', $path);
         $path = str_replace('C:', '', $path);
         $path = str_replace('\\', '/', $path);
         $bf = Director::baseFolder();
         $bf = str_replace('C:', '', $bf);
         $bf = str_replace('\\', '/', $bf);
         // <--
         ereg($bf . '/([^/]+)/',$path,$module);
      } else {
         global $_CLASS_MANIFEST;
         $path = $_CLASS_MANIFEST[$name];
         // hacks for IIS -->
         $path = str_replace('\\sapphire/..', '', $path);
         $path = str_replace('C:', '', $path);
         $path = str_replace('\\', '/', $path);
         $bf = Director::baseFolder();
         $bf = str_replace('C:', '', $bf);
         $bf = str_replace('\\', '/', $bf);
         // <--
         ereg($bf . '/([^/]+)/',$path,$module);
      }
      return $module[1];
   }
I've written it in multiple lines so it's obvious what the fix does.

I18n still won't work with PHP 5.1.2 on IIS. I've asked the ISP to upgrade PHP version since there is a _specific_ hack for 5.1.2 in Object.php that seems to fail.
Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction with it.
It seems that even though SiteTree has static $db member, the Object->uninherited method goes on and tries to get $db from SiteTree's parent class which doesn't seem to have it. When I patched the Object.php so it gets SiteTree's $db directly, it seemed to work for a little while: I could add a translation to my page, but it never showed up on live system (both language versions where always the same no matter which one I edited).
So the question is - does it have to do with the need to take $db from parent class instead of SiteTree or is it another bug with IIS?
I will come back to You if I get PHP upgraded, but that might never happen If anyone in the meantime can help me out, I will surely return the knowledge to the community - I will have to get SilverStripe fully going on IIS so when I'm finished, IIS can be added to supported servers list I guess. I will also improve Polish translation since it's incomplete.

This has been fixed on the subversion trunk - you can see it here http://open.silverstripe.com/changeset/46821
You should be able to patch your version with this changeset.

Just downloaded SS and trying to install on IIS. Can someone give me detailed instructions.
the install script is reporting the environment is ok (MySql and PHP) working fine but the problem is probably the whole mod-rewrite thing. How do I implement this on IIS?

You will need a 3rd party tool ISAPI Rewrite - see here for more information: http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=iis-installation
Our IIS documentation is really lacking and we would appreciate it if members of the community could provide some more step-by-step instructions for that wiki page!

I just setup SilverStripe 2.2.2 with IIS6 and ran into three issues. Two of which that were mentioned in this thread:
$_SERVER['https'] issue
Loading of i18n files
And a third one dealing with $_GET['url']:
$_GET['url']
I submitted tickets with patches. I hope this helps any of you out there that need to get SilverStripe up and running on IIS.

Hey guys, it's awesome that you've figured out the IIS stuff.
You do realise that doc.silverstripe.com is a wiki.... so I have updated
http://doc.silverstripe.com/doku.php?id=iis-installation
And linked to it, making notes that people taking this approach need to be careful .
That way more people will see the information you've created. Over time the page will become simpler as the bugs relating to IIS get fixed and therefore don't need manual hacking
