CMSMS on a Windows server

Does anyone have experience with this? We've got a client that currently has someone hosting their church and catholic school websites for free on a Windows server. We recently designed their new website on the CMSMS platform and we're experiencing some strange issues.

The main issue being that when the primary administrator goes to the Group Permissions area, nothing is displayed. The user is completely unable to alter permissions or do anything. The second issue is that some modules (primarily Form Browser) do the same thing. They display nothing.

This is less of a help matter and more of a curiosity. We've informed the client that we will have to host the website on our dedicated Linux server in order to get it running smoothly.

Thanks in advance.  :D

I would suspect this has more to do with the specific servers/configurations of this "free" hosting, than with the fact that they are Windows servers.  I have successfully run two or three CMSMS installs on Windows, with nothing like the issues you are seeing.

Remember, you generally get what you pay for with hosting.
