How do i add an IIS-6 hosted WCF-service service reference to a client application. i tried to do it but this is what i get;

"There was an error downloading 'http://localhost/IISHostService/Service.svc'.
The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found.
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'http://localhost/IISHostService/Service.svc'.
The remote server returned an unexpected response: (405) Method Not Allowed.
The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again."

Thanks Dylan i followed the links and i got the solution. I had to run these; 1. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\
and then run:
-aspnet_regiis -i
2. C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation
and then run:
ServiceModelReg.exe -i
and it worked for me. it was to do with the .svc extension.
