Need help installing Wordpress on Windows host.

[Rishi87]

Hi, all. I am trying to install Wordpress on my windows hosting. Database is setup using phpMyAdmin, I've uploaded wordpress files in wwwroot folder using FTP and edited wp-config file too. However, running install script (by typing *www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/install.php) results in "Page not found" error. What could be the problem?

Anyone experienced with Wordpress installation on Windows host?

Does your Windows hosting have the necessary PHP and MYSQL setup?

Yes, They've configured PHP 5 on it and database is also set up in MySQL. Is there any hack that I have to follow for installation?

Have you uploaded the files from inside the 'wordpress' folder to your server, or did you just upoad the entire 'wordpress' folder?

Try accessing:

*www.mydomain.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php

I've uploaded the "files" to server, not wordpress folder. BTW, all the files are in wwwroot folder.
