That file is not critical, please try deleting it and seeing what happens.
In the mean-time, I'll look into it.

I suspect the initial issue is due to IIS not having the rewrite module installed. However, I set up a test Windows 10 machine with IIS Express 10 and (1) rewrite came bundled and (2) even when I disabled it in the configuration and explicitly deleted the DLL and restarted IIS it still didn't complain. I think the version of IIS I installed is hard-coded to recognise IIS rewrite rule configuration (and ignore it) even when the rewrite extension is not installed. So I think this is an issue with different test environments. Our Web Platform installer for Composr does specify rewrite should be installed, and I'd recommend installing it. I'll document it as a dependency.
The catalogue_fields error, possibly caused by two copies of the installer running in parallel, and one removed the table while the other was using it. Or something like that. I'll code the installer to use ignore_user_abort(false); to try and reduce the chance of this happening.
