I am trying to write my first WCF Service.  I am using VS2008 beta 2 on a
Vista Business machine

I have written and installed my service on the local IIS. I have defined a
service.svc file
when i try to access the service thru my browser i get the following error
response:

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
Description: The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the
Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) map policy that is configured
on the Web server. The page you requested has a file name extension that is
not recognized, and is not allowed.

Error Code: 0x80070032

Notification: ExecuteRequestHandler

Module: StaticFileModule

Requested URL:
http://localhost:80/MSOMEAnalysisService/MSOMEAnalysisService.svc

Physical Path: D:\MSOMEAnalysisService\MSOMEAnalysisService.svc

Logon User: Anonymous

Logon Method: Anonymous

Handler: StaticFile

I figured because svc is not defined as a valid MIME extension. I added the
.svc extension as "application/octet-stream". now when i access the site i
the contents of the file are returned.

What do I need to do to get the service activated?

(I am using John Sharp's book WCF Step by Step as a tutorial. I think i
followed the example very closely but it doesn't mention the need to
configure the MIME)

thanks for your help
