if you're getting that problem you have either not specified a database to install it to (dont know if ms wpi does this automatically) or something cocked up when you got ms wpi

make sure when you download wordpress in wpi that all of this is also downloaded...

Web Deployment Tool 1.0
PHP 5.2.11
CGI
URL Rewrite 1.1
MySQL Windows Essential 5.1
Windows Cache Extension 1.0 for PHP 5.2

and make sure you use your root server password when it asks for it
