Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage–after installing KB977377

by vivek 5/24/2010 8:41:04 PM
Let me confess, I had to cook this up to give you this example. It happened to my colleague some days back when he developed a simple WCF application on Windows Server 2003 using VS2003. He selected “Target Framework 3.0” in the Property Page of that Web Site. He then deployed the application on his Win7 machine which has VS2010 with .net 4.0 installed. He fires the Web Site http://localhost/Service.svc and he gets “HTTP 404.17 – Not Found” when running the Web Site under Classic .NET AppPool.... [More]
