Q: 

Can't create wildcard mapping for Ruby on IIS7.5

I'm following the steps to run Ruby on Rails on IIS here: http://mvolo.com/blogs/serverside/archive/2007/02/18/10-steps-to-get-Ruby-on-Rails-running-on-Windows-with-IIS-FastCGI.aspx

I'm running on Windows 7 64-bit (which I think is IIS7.5) and verified that CGI was already installed. But when I got to step 9, creating the wildcard mapping, I discovered I don't have fcgiext.dll anywhere on my machine. Have searched on Google but all links I've found assume it's there.

I've also tried on a Windows Vista SP1 64-bit VM and on a Windows 2008 Server and same thing. CGI is installed but I don't have fcgiext.dll.

Also in step 4, when I enter: requite 'fcgi', it says "no such file to load" which suggests there's something amiss with my FastCGI installation?
