Win FX RC1 Installation Bug - Get Plain Text for WCF .svc Files From IIS?

  • Article

Question

After upgrading WCF (or NetFx-3.0) from an older beta version to RC1, I get “Page Not Found” (404) error or get the plain text content of the .svc file for .svc files. Is .svc extension removed from IIS?

Why ?

Another, simple solution to this problem:

Go to Start --> Program Files --> Microsoft Windows SDK -->CMD Shell

and execute the commands in sequence:

aspnet_regiis -u

aspnet_regiis -i

 

This will clean up the messed IIS metabase.
