Normally when we host a WCF Service i9n IIS and while browsing we get the below frustrating screen
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.
