Answer 1

You should try Microsoft Web Platform Installer , which will help you set this up in IIS. This requires almost no prior experience in setting up web applications, and should work out-of-the-box.

Answer 2

Microsoft Web PI is definitely the easiest way configure IIS.

Alternatively, you could also try with XAMPP for Windows if you don't necessarily have to use IIS.

Answer 3

Error code 0x8007010b means 'The directory name is invalid'. First of all check if the folder C:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\Blog exists but could also be another folder referenced from your PHP.INI configuration file.
