Thanks for the quick walkthrough. My installation won't get past the svcutil step. It generates the error:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'svcutil, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A)
File name: 'svcutil, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' ---> System.Security.SecurityException: Strong name validation failed. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8013141A)
The Zone of the assembly that failed was:
MyComputer


Any ideas?

The issue I guess is with regards to svcutil.exe not being signed. To correct:

At the Visual Studio 2008 command window prompt

Get to the folder where svcutil.exe is (e.g C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0a\bin\)

Issue the command: sn -Vr svcutil.exe
