VS 2010, Web Deploy and IIS 5.1

Question

I have a WCF project in VS 2010 that seems to deploy and install successfully using Web Deploy to IIS 7.5

I need to also package it for IIS 5.1 in a way that is easy to install on IIS 5.1

Is the Web Deploy approach on VS 2010 compatible with installing a WCF Service on IIS 5.1 ?

I'm very new to WCF.

Answer 1

Hi Larry,

Web Deployment tool is supported on IIS5.1, you can create a package and install it on IIS5.1. However, WCF services hosted in IIS 5.1 are restricted to using HTTP-based communication. If your WCF service use a non-HTTP binding, it will results in an error during service activation.

Thanks.
