Adding Trailing Slash Rewrite breaks Umbraco backend

Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 7
Hi, Having an issue with adding a redirect to add a trailing slash to URL's.

When the rule below is applied it causes the backend of Umbraco not to load as it can no longer find Angular or required files.
```
<rule name="Add trailing slash" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*[^/])$" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />

</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{R:1}/" />
</rule>
```
Running Umbraco 7.5.4

Thank you

Hi Bezmundo,

Add this to your Conditions list:
```
<add input="{URL}" pattern="/umbraco" negate="true" />
```
It should exclude any umbraco elements from your re-write rule including surface controllers and similar.

Thanks,

Nik

        <rule name="Add trailing slash" stopProcessing="true">
      <match url="(.*[^/])$" />
      <conditions>
        <add input="{URL}" negate="true" pattern="^/umbraco.*$" />
        <add input="{URL}" negate="true" pattern="^/app_plugins.*$" />
        <add input="{URL}" negate="true" pattern="^/install.*$" />
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
        <add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" pattern="(.*?)\.[a-zA-Z]{1,4}$" negate="true" />
      </conditions>
      <action type="Redirect" redirectType="Permanent" url="{R:1}/" />
    </rule>

This is what I ended up with, besides /umbraco there might be other plugins or code that can't handle the rewrite. If anybody has any suggestions or additions to this I would like to hear it (I'm not a IIS guru).

Please also note, if this rule is not the last one in your list the stopProcessing must be false.
