I created and deployed a WCF service, created with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, to IIS 7 on Windows 7 and I got the error message:
Unable to start debugging on the web server. Could not start ASP .NET debugging. More Information may be available by starting the project without debugging.

So I did, I started the WCF service without debugging an got the error page:
HTTP Error 404.3 – Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.

Then I followed the instruction on http://blogs.msdn.com/rjohri/archive/2009/06/29/the-page-you-are-requesting-cannot-be-served-because-of-the-extension-configuration.aspx
, that cleared the error!

  • Run Visual Studio 2008 Command Prompt as “Administrator”.
  • Navigate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation.
  • Run this command servicemodelreg –i
  •  

    Installed IIS 7 after installing Visual Studio 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5
