How do I get this to work on a hosted server running windows?

Go into the directive in httpd.conf of Apache

Look for:
AccessFileName .htaccess

change the filename to look for to something like:
ht.htaccess

Now apache looks for “ht.access” and windows is happy too.

Do this on a provate or testing server ONLY an when uploading simply rename the file to .htaccess

Not sure about this as I am having general issues with getting htaccess working in windows. But you should know about the directive in httpd.conf of Apache

AccessFileName .htaccess
