How do I configure Windows Activation Server(WAS) in Windows XP to host WCF services ?
570
WCF uses the listener adapter interface to communicate activation requests that are received over the non-HTTP protocols supported by WCF, such as TCP, named pipes, and Message Queuing.
There are three types of hosting environments for WCF services: IIS, WAS, and self-hosting. The term “self-hosting” refers to any application that provides its own code to initialize the hosting environment. This includes console, Windows Forms, WPF, and managed Windows services.
Click Start, click Administrative Tools and then Server Manager. In the left navigation pane, right-click Features, and then click Add Features. On the Select Features pane, scroll down to Windows Process Activation Service. Select the check boxes for Process Model.
WAS was introduced in version 6.0 of Windows, or Server 2008 and Windows Vista.
Unfortunately it is not available for Windows XP or Server 2003. You'll need to upgrade your operating system to one that supports IIS 7.0. It is not available as a separate component.
