Ensure you have IIS installed and running, by default IIS is not
installed. You'll need you installation cd for this.

Note that IIS differs from Apache in several points, and this also makes PHP behave differently. If your site will eventually run on a Windows server with IIS, then this is no problem (though personally, I wouldn't recommend it).

But since it sounds like you are only testing your site locally before uploading it to an Apache server, you should probably avoid IIS and use XAMPP as suggested previously.
