Answer 1

This problem is due to access rights. Start Visual Studio with administrative rights and the problem will be resolved. To start Visual Studio with admin rights right click the Visual Studio icon and select "Run As Administrator".

Answer 2

Update: In my case what helped was:

1) enabling trace logs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms732023.aspx

2) in the trace log it wrote this:

Binding validation failed because the binding's ExactlyOnce property is set to true while the destination queue is non-transactional. The service host cannot be opened. Resolve this conflict by setting the ExactlyOnce property to false or creating a transactional queue for this binding.

The answer says it all. Created a transactional queue - everything works :) hope it helps people :)
