I have downloaded and installed V7 beta2 on IIS via Windows XP.
THe installation and configuratoin were successful.
When I clicked og to new site, I received a HTTP 404 - File not found error.
I can navigate to the admin page with http://localhost/drupal7/index.php?q=admin
Way will it not open the default index.php page?

That's on IIS 5, I suppose?

I don't believe we can easily support that.

POSSIBLE ANSWER?

It sounds like your web server is not set to serve index.php by default. I'm not sure where the setting is for IIS... in Apache, it is a file called httpd.conf and the default line is:
DirectoryIndex index.html

If you were running Apache, you would want to edit the line so that it will first try to serve index.php and then index.html
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
