Over a year ago I wrote a WCF service, which runs on a Windows 2003 Server, under the auspices of a Windows Service (which I also wrote). (I wrote it using VS 2008.) I’ve not had a chance to continue working with it for a long time, but would now like to pick up where I left off back then. However, now I’m trying to use VS 2010, and see if I can interact with it.
The first thing I did was run SvcUtil from the command line, to get the information I would need to put into my App.Config file. However, it gave me an error (#415) saying that the server had rejected the network request. I’ve been asking around as to how I can fix this problem, and was told that I should run SvcConfigEditor.exe on the server in order to get better logging information. So I RDP onto the server and tried running it. Only, it isn’t installed on the server. The .NET Framework 2 and 3.5 are installed, but I wouldn’t think it would matter if .NET 4 was installed on the server, if I’m trying to run SvcConfigEditor.exe from .NET 3.5.
Bottom line: how do I get SvcConfigEditor.exe onto the server?
You can just copy your config from the server to you workstation and then run svcconfigeditor then copy it back to the server. Your config is just a text file so treat it as such.
