Hosting WordPress on a Windows Hoster

I remember having this problem before which I have forgotten about and hadn’t experienced, until I had updated my WordPress installation on a Windows hosted blog. I got the error, “Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ “. Just so I remember next time, 2 files I need to update when this happens:

index.php

change: require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); => require(‘wp-blog-header.php’);

xmlrpc.php

change: include(‘./wp-load.php’); => include(‘wp-load.php’);

UPDATE: One more thing, in order to enable publishing images through Windows Live Writer, you have to manually create the wp-content folder as well (or is it wp-content/uploads…)
