One of my intentions of the new year is learning WCF. And yes, I've been doing some coding with it these last days.
I was now trying out to use a WCFService hosted in a website, so I wanted to access the svc file via http://localhost:905/Service.svc . However, IIS7 on my Vista machine returned 404.3 - Not found and the mime type not being configured correctly to be served.
I was thinking it to be something like a configuration exe that needed to be ran before it would work, similar to aspnet_regiis.exe. And indeed, it was: the following command solved my problem:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation>Service
ModelReg.exe -i
What it did, it installed the necessary scriptmaps at the IIS metabase root and folders within.
