Re: Unable to verify that the svc file type is mapped to be handled by aspnet_isapi.dll in IIS 5.1

I would try to get the SVC mapping installed properly, this will ensure your WCF installation succeeded. Check out this thread. It might provide some direction.

Thank you, Steve!

So, should I not worry about this until something actually does not work in conjunction with my learning WCF?

PS: I didn't need the .csproj file extension and replaced it with the extension I needed. Metabase mappings and IIS 5.1 (xp 32 bit) has always seemed odd to me. I don't try to customize too much on XP for things like this.

I recently did some dev work using XP and needed a custom mapping. I used the Metabase explorer and changed one of the extensions to the extension I needed. :) It's a bit of a hack, but it worked. :) I think I changed the .csproj one that was mapped.

Unable to verify that the svc file type is mapped to be handled by aspnet_isapi.dll in IIS 5.1

While learning Windows Communications Foundation (WCF) in Visual Studio 2008 and setting up for it, I installed on my WinXP Pro desktop computer IIS 5.1 in order to be able to study and run sample WCF projects. Because an .aspx file did not display properly, and because I got

"Warning: CScriptMapsComponent::Install Cannot set application extensions. Please check that ASP.net 2.0 is installed"

following the command

"%WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.5\WFServicesReg.exe" /c ,

(ASP.net is indeed installed) I was led to the Visual Studio 2008 Help topic 'IIS Hosted Service Fails"; I tried to follow the instructions under

"To verify that the svc file type is mapped to be handled by aspnet_isapi.dll in IIS 5.1 or 6.0" :

I found that the .svc file extension was not mapped to aspnet_isapi.dll and tried to add that mapping. However, in the dialog where you enter the path to the dll and the file extension, I was unable to make the OK button turn from being greyed out to be clickable, no matter what I tried to do with the other controls in the dialog. Can you help me, please?

Thanks,
