Thank you for the clarification, I simply mispoke. I should have separate sites (which I did in the title).

The document you referenced (which I did look up) specifically speaks to having the files in a subdirectory under a specific site which is exactly what I do not want to do.

I basically want to set up the WP files in a separate folder/site altogether from the master web blog root.

wordpress.blah.com – C:\inetpub\wordpress\
The wordpress files and admin pages would reside here.

http://www.blah.com – c:\inetpub\www\
The blog files once published would reside here.

The documentation you referenced have you modifying the index.php to drop to root and look “wp-blog-header.php”, etc but they will be residing under a different URL and therefore not referencable as far as I know.
