  Hey everyone, hope you’re having a good day! I’m new to WordPress and just getting started. I’m using Windows Server 2025 and IIS. I’ve downloaded and extracted WordPress to C:inetpubwwwrootwordpress. But when I try to open it in my browser using http://localhost/wordpress, I get an HTTP Error 404 – The requested resource is not found.
  Any idea what might be causing this?
