Error message in above screen is very clear. We need to add MIME type for .SVC extension.

To solve above problem

1. Open command prompt as Administrator

2. Navigate to C:Windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.0

3. Type the command

ServiceMode1Reg.exe –i

Now MIME type has been registered for the .Svc extension and you should not face any problem , hosting WCF Service in IIS.
