 * I’m stupid and hopefully this is very obvious. I have tried to install wp. I 
   use a database I created on my server at Webfusion. I have copied all the files
   carefully to a subdirectory of my website on the server called ‘blog’. I have
   renamed the config file and added all the database info. When I tried to raise
   the install.php on the web it couldn’t be opened: generic ms error msg saying
   the file could not be opened or does not exist. Then tring to open the php files(
   any of them) locally out of my d: drive also doesn’t work – they won’t open. 
   Clearly this is something fundamental and not wordpress specific. Is it permissions?
   Don’t see why I should have to change them but if so then how? Is it the server
   or web browser? Help needed.

 * If that “blog” subdirectory is supposed to be at the site linked to your profile–
   it is not there.
    Who is your host and why do you need a Win server?
