Cannot get WCF Data Services samples to run

Question

Running Windows 7 Enterprise. VS2013 installed.

I am unable to run any WCF Data Services applications. (e.g. http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/WCF-Data-50-for-OData-v3-53074189)

I receive the following exception:

Configuration endpoint extension 'standardEndpoints/webHttpEndpoint' could not be found. Verify that this endpoint extension is properly registered in system.serviceModel/extensions/endpointExtensions and that it is spelled correctly.

I had a coworker try and they were able to run the sample immediately with no exception.

I feel like this means some sort of WCF component is missing, but Google is of no help on this one.

Can anyone help?

Answer 1

I figured it out.. the problem was that I was somehow missing the extension definition for webHttpEndPoint in my machine.config.

e.g.

  <system.serviceModel>
    <extensions>            
        <endpointExtensions>                
            <add name="webHttpEndpoint" type="System.ServiceModel.Configuration.WebHttpEndpointCollectionElement, System.ServiceModel.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />                
        </endpointExtensions> 
    </extensions>
  <system.serviceModel>
