Consider that installing can overwrite both your (maybe changed) moin.cgi and 
moin_config.py, so it's a good idea to copy them anyway. Alas, copy them to 
your server's cgi-bin. Also copy the .../wiki/data dir, don't use the original 
one directly.

Given that, it's no problem to point your /wiki virtual url to the 
.../wiki/htdocs dir (and that is the intended use).

Finally, you should strongly consider to use "python setup.py install" and THEN 
point your IIS to the _INSTALLED_ files & package.
