Greets from Texas!
I see you're running windows with IIS. I am too. I haven't had a lick of trouble with b2evo until just now. I get this very same error you are experiencing. I don't know enough about PHP to be an expert, but I want to conjecture that this error is due to their use of a feature of apache known as url_rewrite or mod_rewrite that does not work under our IIS webservers.
Just for grins, I uploaded the exact same directory I have on my personal server and the associated database to a hosted linux box I have access to for test purposes. SURE ENOUGH, the login page works on the linux box. This leads me to believe that my primary conjecture is correct and they are using a URL_rewrite type function that is unsupported in windows.
Developers/Admins - can we please get a fix?? I'd like the main login form link to work for windows please.
OP- there is a temporary solution to this. Instead of using the link to the login form off your index page, you can go to b2_install_dir/admin and that login form works perfectly for administering the blogs.

That's exactly correct. I was about to ask if there was anyone that was running IIS 6.0. Even running IIS 6 in 5.0 isolation mode does not work. I had to revery back to 9.0.5 for a fuctional blog site.

It's the same bug that mattbta has [url=http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=1596]reported[/url].
the URL displayed at the login screen only includes the GET params and not the whole $ReqURI, therefor it will probably give an ifinite loop or sth.
Please try adding the debug info I posted in the other thread.
Also answers should go there please..
I had to roll back to 9.0.5 however, I did a clean reinstallation of 9.0.8
to a different directory incase the mods and other offical-type folks want to check it out. I even tinkered with my server configuration for a few hours just to eliminate the PEBKAC factor. *sigh* Bleeding edge technology.
FYI - I have 9.0.8 installed at www.phoenixcolony.com/oslo
If people want the passwords to tinker with it contact me offlist.
