I've installed Magento on IIS in folder: E:\mydomain\wwwroot (I already have it all running correctly).
I have no deeper folder magento, I placed all files directly in the wwwroot folder, so:
wwwroot\app
wwwroot\downloader
wwwroot\errors
wwwroot\includes
etc...
UPDATE: since I'm on IIS my .htaccess is ignored completely and my web.config rules are used instead. Here's my web.config in folder e:\mydomain\wwwroot:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Magento SEO: remove index.php from URL">
<match url="^(?!index.php)([^?#]*)(\\?([^#]*))?(#(.*))?" />
<conditions>
<add input="{URL}" pattern="^/(media|skin|js)/" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php/{R:0}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Next, I wanted to install WordPress.
I unzipped all files in folder e:\mydomain\wwwroot\wordpress
Browsed to www.mydomain.com/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php, where I configured everything for my database.
Everything was installed correctly.
I then navigate to http://www.mydomain.com/wordpress/wp-login.php where I type my credentials. I seem to be logged in and am redirected to http://www.mydomain.com/wordpress/wp-admin/
But there I receive an empty page.
I enabled detailed error message in IIS following this article: http://www.iis.net/learn/troubleshoot/diagnosing-http-errors/how-to-use-http-detailed-errors-in-iis
I also checkec with Fiddler and see that I receive a 500 error:

My WordPress web.config in folder e:\mydomain\wwwroot\wordpress contains:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="wordpress" patternSyntax="Wildcard">
<match url="*"/>
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true"/>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true"/>
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php"/>
</rule></rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I also want my WordPress articles to be available on www.mydomain.com/blog instead of www.mydomain.com/wordpress
Ofcourse my admin links for Magento and Wordpress should also work.
How can I configure my web.config files to achieve the above?
