Cannot serve WCF services in IIS on Windows 8

Question

When I try to serve a WCF service on IIS in a Windows 8 machine  I get the well known error     The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration  If the page is a script  add a handler  If the file should be downloaded  add a MIME map    The old work around was to run aspnet regiis -i but this command seems to have been deprecated in Windows 8 yielding response This option is not supported on this version of the operating system          What would be the work around     I have successfully enabled regular aspx pages already  so most of the IIS config seems healthy

Seemed to be a no brainer  the WCF service should be enabled using Programs and Features - gt  Turn Windows features on or off in the Control Panel  Go to  NET Framework Advanced Services - gt  WCF Services and enable HTTP Activation as described in this blog post on mdsn   From the command prompt  as admin   you can run   C   gt  DISM  Online  Enable-Feature  FeatureName WCF-HTTP-Activation C   gt  DISM  Online  Enable-Feature  FeatureName WCF-HTTP-Activation45   If you get an error then use the below  C   gt  DISM  Online  Enable-Feature  all  FeatureName WCF-HTTP-Activation C   gt  DISM  Online  Enable-Feature  all  FeatureName WCF-HTTP-Activation45

For Windows Server 2012  the solution is very similar to faester s  see above   From the Server Manager  click on Add roles and features  select the appropriate server  then select Features  Under  NET Framework 4 5 Features  you ll see WCF Services  and under that  you ll find HTTP Activation

This is really the same solution as faester s solution and Bill Moon s  but here s how you do it with PowerShell   Import-Module Servermanager Add-WindowsFeature AS-HTTP-Activation   Of course  there s nothing stopping you from calling DISM from PowerShell either
