Answer 1

I had receievd a similar error:

HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.

I tried the same code on several machines. Through some R & D, I finally found that the cause for this can be that WCF mapping are not registered with IIS.

To solve the above error:

1. Navigate to "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation" at the Visual Studio command prompt
2. Execute "servicemodelreg -i" to install the mappings manually
