WCF .svc File Shows As Text On XP SP2

If Windows Communication Foundation .svc files show up in your browser as the textual content of the file rather than launching your service on XP SP2, (e.g. you get <@ServiceHost ...etc...>) your IIS Metabase may have been corrupted by previous beta installation of WCF. Download the CleanIISScriptMaps utility from the .netfx3 website and run it to fix the problem.

Get it here: http://wcf.netfx3.com/files/folders/product_team/entry5648.aspx

Thanks to the blog entry of Wenlong Dong for this tip.

Try running ServiceModelReg.exe located in the \windows\microsoft.net\framework\v3.0\windows communication foundation directory. You likely want the "-i" flag, but type "-?" for a full description.

Have you already done the things in this post? In particular, have you run "ServiceModelReg.exe -i"?

What worked for me:
Go to IIS --> Select your service --> Properties --> ASP.NET --> change version from 1.1 to 2.0
