Answer 1

On windows 8, run DISM.exe in order to enable WCF:

DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WCF-HTTP-Activation
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WCF-HTTP-Activation45

Or if you are setting up everything using Server manager Dashboard's Add Roles and Features Wizard do not forget to check "HTTP Activation" under WCF Services

Answer 2

It happens if IIS is installed after .NET Framework and Visual Studio, so it is necessary to register ASP.Net. If to install IIS at first, there will be no such problems.

But the solution is simple: open Visual Studio Command Promt and type this command

aspnet_regiis.exe -i

Here is a link with more detailed information about this command and its parameters.

For Windows 8 to enable WCF had to run these commands in an administrator started Visual Studio command prompt:

DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WAS-WindowsActivationService
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WAS-ProcessModel
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WAS-NetFxEnvironment
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WAS-ConfigurationAPI
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WCF-HTTP-Activation
DISM /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:WCF-HTTP-Activation45
