Need help installing Wordpress on Windows host.

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. :sad:

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.
