Your config and code looks fine - are you sure that there is a (yourapplication).exe.config file in the same directory where (yourapplication).exe is located, the one you launch as your service?

Make Sure you specify same app.config both in WCF service and Windows Service . If this also does not help delete app.config from WCf service , configure aap.config manually in windows service and copy it to WCf service . This will surely solve your problem...
