WCF Hosting with IIS7

I started working with services in Windows world recently and got stuck pretty badly when I tried to host a WCF service in IIS 7. I was receiving errors no matter what solution I tried with Googling. All of them mentioned that I may not have installed ASP.NET properly, but I have installed it properly.

So I was clueless for a while, but luckily found this great article in WCF Tools team's blog, which mentioned that it may be because I installed Visual Studio prior to installing IIS. I did the simple command mentioned there and wow! it worked.

I will post a step-by-step guide in a later post on how to deploy your WCF Service in IIS7.
