Yours is the first reply - thanks for your help.
I did as you suggested, and created a file (just some text in a file called test.html) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\DrupalTest.
From the server desktop
http://localhost/DrupalTest/test.html - works
http://localhost/DrupalTest/install.php - does not work
From my own desktop:
http://drupal.domain.tld/test.html - does not work
http://drupal.domain.tld/DrupalTest/test.html - works
I then got a bit inspired, and more closely examined c:\Program Files\PHP\v5.3, and I found two .reg files in it. One (pws-php5cgi.reg) mentions php.exe, and the other (pws-php5isapi) mentions php5isapi.dll.
However, there is no php5isapi.dll anywhere on the system.
So, I edited pws-php5cgi.reg and merged it, stopped and started the w3svc, and am having the same problem.

Strange problem. It seems like you might be having issues with your host setup file. I'm not exactly a Guru on this, but I hadn't seen any responses (maybe they directly mailed you). It seems that your browser isn't actually finding the files themselves, so might you be pointing to the wrong area? It seems that you SHOULD be getting database errors if Drupal was installed incorrectly, but the virtual host was set correctly. I hope that helps some and leads you in the right direction.
Try putting a normal .html file in the same place as your install.php file (test.html, for example) and throw some simple code in there. Then try to browse there. If you can pull it up (localhost/DrupalTest/test.html), then your host is working. Otherwise, you have a problem with your non-Drupal settings, like vhost, Apache, etc. Something isn't configured correctly to point at your files, from the sounds of it.

All,
Just joined the list - I've been tasked with installing this for and evaluation against DNN with the winner being selected for both our internal and external web presence.
I followed the directions at http://drupal.org/node/1130898 on a fresh VM from scratch, as noted in the subject line. The only variance I introduced in the install process is that I installed SQL Server Express 2008 R2 beforehand.
However, when I visit http://localhost/DrupalTest on the machine, I get a 404 error. Nothing I've tried seems to work, including an explicit browse to http://localhost/DrupalTest/install.php, stopping and starting both the web site and the w3svc, among other things.
I don't see anything in the event logs showing installation errors, and my my google-fu may be weak, because I'm turning up nothing in my searches on teh intarwebs. I also checked the web log, and it shows a 404 for the attempts as well.
The only things that I note that might provide clues (I'm not an IIS guru) are that:
o- PHP is not referenced for either the site or the virtual directory under Properties/Home Directory/Configuration/Mappings as an extension, nor is there an ISAPI filter of any sort for the web site.
and
o- Browsing to http://drupal.domain.tld from my own desk produces an "Under Construction" page, vs. http://drupal.domain.tld/install.php, which produces a 404 error.
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
Thanks,
Kurt
