Since it seems to be more or less convention I would like to try to get mod_rewrite working. I am not sure what additional information is needed to find out the cause of why it is not working.

Well, I'm sure it's not your intention but you're doing something a bit weird. 

Ordinarily to use cake you download it to a web-accessible location (i.e. put it in whatever folder corresponds to http://localhost) and browse to it (e.g. http://localhost/cakeblog) - I'd recommend starting from that basis, no funny business.

If you're going to configure an alias - make it point at the webroot directory. i.e.

 http://localhost/blog === C:/Users/Kevin/cakeblog/app/webroot

That would make the static files work irrespective of whether mod rewrite is enabled or not. 

It sounds likely from what you're describing that you'd need to add a RewriteBase /blog/ for what you've setup (I get a 404 indicating that index.php is not present). If you still need help you should clearly state:

• the url requested
  
• the exact error message recieved. "I get a 404" is actually ambiguous - an apache 404 or a cakephp 404?
