Hi and thank you in advance for your assistance.
I am trying to install Drupal 7 locally on my Windows 7 machine using IIS7.5.
I have installed PHP, configured FastCGI in IIS and installed MySql. I have copied my settings file and adjusted the permissions.
I am now trying to open install.php (http://localhost/drupal/install.php) and I am receiving Error 404 - Not Found.
I thought maybe I needed to move my drupal directory to the inetpub folder so I moved it to C:\inetpub\wwwroot and then received a Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error.
Thanks again,
Scott

My tipp
Don't use IIS but use XAMPP as a development system on your Windows client and you will have no problems.
Follow Quick install Drupal with XAMPP on Windows (https://www.drupal.org/node/2347717).
Good luck!

Thanks...but
I know I can use XAMPP but I was hoping to use IIS. From what I can tell there is no reason why it shouldn't work.
So unless there is a really good reason why I shouldn't use IIS (like there are many known issues with Drupal) I would still welcome some advice.
Thanks,
Scott

Apache is standard for drupal but IIS and MS is no standard. That's, why my hint works.
Good luck!
