Wordpress on Windows 10

I am trying to get Wordpress running on my Windows 10 machine i.e on IIS 10. I have used the Web Platform Installer (WPI) to install MySql and PHP. WPI did hang when installing Wordpress (WP) so I decided to install it manually.

Here is what I have got so far.......

MySQL has been installed and Workbench connects successfully.
I have created a new database/schema and User for WP in MySQL and Workbench connects successfully using those credentials as well.
I have created a folder and configured that in IIS. Host headers et al.
I can confirm that PHP requests are being served as I dropped a PHP file with a 'print' command and can see the results.
I have downloaded the latest version of WP and have dropped the contents into this folder.
wp-config.php has been edited to reflect correct database information.

Despite all this....

http://websitename - gives me 'Error establishing a database connection'
http://websitename/wp-admin - gives me 'Error establishing a database connection'

Any thoughts on the above?

Solution

I was able to set this up following @kks21199's suggestion of 'setting up WordPress through the installer'
