Sorry I am not an IIS guy either (at all), but usually you should name the 
file:

   index.php

and not:

   Index.php    or    Index.PHP

(All lowercase letters.)

Is there a 'pmwiki' directory? And inside it, is there the 'pmwiki.php' file?

You could unzip the archive that you download from pmwiki.org, directly in the 
folder E:\2ndSite\. Then, the file pmwiki.php, and some directories (local, 
scripts, wikilib.d) will be in the same folder E:\2ndSite\. And then, you 
have the file "E:\2ndSite\index.php" (only lowercase letters) that contains:

   <?php include_once('pmwiki.php');


Try the lowercase filename, it may solve it.

Good luck,
Petko

P.S. On some Windows FAT32 systems it might be impossible to rename a file to 
all lowercase letters, in that case first rename Index.php to temp.php, then 
temp.php to index.php.
