Redirect URL's with bad file extensions

Question

I'm running windows servers with IIS and normally I would do a redirect by simply adding a rule to .htaccess to redirect a couple of urls that have gotten into google index due a typo, however because its not a valid file type .net jumps in first and throws an application error. The url in question ends: "/presents-for-her..." which includes the 3 dots, which is where I'm having the issue - anyone got any thoughts on how I can either get past the .net application(which we are not using) so I can .htaccess it or to handle it within .net? There are only 4 bad urls so it wont take an extensive set of rules to sort out.

IIS does not support .htaccess file, so you should study IIS instead, learn.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/application-frameworks/… — Lex Li

I already have ISAPI rewrite installed and working but I will look at web.config redirect rules — Code Ninja

Are you still using IIS 5/6 in windows server 2003 or 2005? If you are using windows server 2008 or higher version. Then you shouldn't use ISAPI rewrite further.

Please use URL rewrite module instead.

https://www.iis.net/downloads/microsoft/url-rewrite

And it support to convert .htaccess to IIS rule.
