Hi,

I hosted WCF in a windows Service:

When i try to start the service(Under Administrative Tools -> Services) after installing it, i am getting the following errors: How do i fix this issue? IS there any thing wrong with the app.config?

Service cannot be started. System.InvalidOperationException: Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding MetadataExchangeHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [net.tcp].
at System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostBase.MakeAbsoluteUri(Uri relativeOrAbsoluteUri, Binding binding, UriSchemeKeyedCollection baseAddresses)

This is my app.config:
