It’s easy. You have to enable directory browsing in IIS (mine IIS 7.0).
Step1: Just open the IIS, by typing “inetmgr” in the run window.
Step2: You have to enable Directory browsing at the top level of the root node. Double click on the directory browsing and click enable link.

enable directory browsing in IIS 7.0
May be you have to do this for Default Web Site node as well.
I thought, I did enough to run my WCF service in the browser. But it is still giving me some more problems.
This time the error was
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration.
After googling, people are talking about this issue, but they are talking in VS2005/2008 context. But I have VS Web Developer Express 2008 edition on VISTA.
But I translated them and did the following steps to register my .SVC extension.
Step 1:
Start -> All programs -> Microsoft Windows SDK v6.1 -> CMD Shell


Step 2: Navigate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation
Step 3: Run servicemodelreg –i
That’s it. You are all done.
Apparently when IIS 7 is installed they don’t turn everything on for you and so you are required to do this to run WCF on your machine.
Hopefully this will save some frustration and time for someone out there. Keep it cool.
