Vista - Need help with LiveServiceTraceViewer demo

I have almost all of the LiveServiceTraceViewer demo app working on
windows xp sp2. I am having trouble getting the WebHostedService
service.svc to run on IIS6. All I get is a web server error. Can WCF
services run on IIS6? What are the requirements to get a WCF service
running?

What is the exact error?

Yes, as long as a service uses an HTTP based binding.

A proper installation of the .NET Framework 3.0 should provide all you need.
You may run in trouble if you had a previous CTP installed that was not uninstalled
properly (see the article on http://www.netfx3.com/).

HTTP 500 - Internal server error

IIS log:

23:08:43 127.0.0.1 GET /LiveTraceViewerTest/service.svc 500

System event log:

W3SVC
Event ID:36
The server failed to load application '/LM/W3SVC'. The error was 'The
specified metadata was not found.'.

I notice that .net 3.0 is not a version option in the asp.net tab of the
website properties in IIS console, I assume this is normal?

It has something to do with XP Pro and IIS 5.1. Its not set up correctly
or can't be set up correctly I don't know. I've never used XP Pro for
development before, I've always used Server 2003 and didn't know how
fortunate I was.

Can a WCF web service be made to work on XP Pro IIS 5.1, or with the
builtin cassini server in vs8?

XP Pro and IIS 5.1 working without problems at least for me
Did you set all as

Just a hint
