Joomla installation problem.

Hello experts.

I am trying to install joomla on my computer.

1. Tried to install joomla via webmatrix- got stuck with site password doesn't match.
No idea how to solve this problem.

2. Now I try to install joomla using installation files.
I have IIS and Apache working on my machine.

According to:
http://docs.joomla.org/Installation

I should copy joomla files to my server directory.
But where is my server directory?

Tried to add site to SItes on IIS, then clicked start. Got error message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."

Questions:
1. What password should I type in the first case scenario?
2. Should I be using IIS- how should I use it?
2.1 Maybe Apache? But how?

As you noticed I am newbie...

Please help me :-)

Easiest way to install Joomla on an IIS box.

Server directory on a Windows machine would be c:\inetpub\wwwroot

http://www.microsoft.com/web/joomla it says that product is not supported on my operating system (Win 7 pro 64bit)

http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=2389496 uninstalled and deleted files. Assigned new password, in the next step it turns out that my password does not match....

Enter your DB Administrator password ...... that you set up for MySQL - don't put in a "new" password. That should do the trick.

If not - Could you do a screenshot of the stage you are at with the installation?
