if you are getting a not found error then you're typing the wrong URL in the address bar.

The error provides you with more than enough information to help you solve it.

The key word is 'handler'. A handler tells IIS what program to use to execute the script. In this case it is PHP. The error message means that IIS does not know what to with a PHP script.

The following article may be of assistance.
Using FastCGI to Host PHP Applications on IIS 7

Unless you have some compelling reason to use IIS, I recommend using Apache or lighttpd instead.

C:\Program Files\PHP\php.exe - The FastCGI process exceeded configured request timeout .do i need to set the time out or set permission ?? i m using win 7

PHP 5 still has the php-cgi.exe file. if you're installing PHP5 as FastCGI, you'll need to use this file. you can't use the php.exe for FastCGI, as far as I know. this is probably what's causing your server error. reading the install information (install.txt in the directory you installed PHP) for IIS might help you a bit, if that tutorial is not. I have absolutely no experience installing PHP on IIS, though, so I can't really help you.

Why don't you use Apache?

you can install PHP 5.2 with the latest version of Apache from here (which should be 2.2.x). then, if you haven't already, you can install the latest version of MySQL Community (5.x) from here, and then you can probably even grab phpMyAdmin and install that to interface with your database. then, you should be all set to install Joomla or whatever you want.
