title: Cannot serve WCF services in IIS on Windows 8
body: <p>When I try to serve a WCF service on IIS in a Windows 8 machine, I get the well known error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The old work around was to run <code>aspnet_regiis -i</code> but this command seems to have been deprecated in Windows 8 yielding response <code>This option is not supported on this version of the operating system. (...)</code>.</p>
  
  <p>What would be the work around? </p>
  
  <p>(I have successfully enabled regular <code>aspx</code> pages already, so most of the IIS config seems healthy.)</p>
