Bruce: I had the same problem.
I fixed it by (doing what this blogpost says) running the netsh command as administrator, you can do that by (not just starting the command prompt but) right-clicking on the command prompt icon and selecting “Run as Administrator”, then try again

Question:

Attempted to register my URL

Received the following error:

Url reservations add failed, Error: 5
The requested operation requires elevation

Not sure what else do I need. Please advise

Thank you
Bruce

Steve, I faced the similar issue and using the httpGetUrl=”http://localhost:8000/ProductsService/ProductsService.svc” in the servicemetadata for the behavior did the trick for me.

Thanks

Thanks for your response. I am logged into Window’s Vista as admin. How exactly to I run a process from Visual Studio as an elevated admin process?
I will try the posting from above and see what happens. I guess I need to know what API’s methods that I need call to from code to set the ability of the operating system that will allow me run a service and connect to it and not obtain the exceptions as I shown. If anyone knows a C# progect that has the code to do this could you leave me a website to download or emal it to me at stevensrf1@inbox.com
thanks

Steve, have you used netsh to allow your account access to this URL space? One easy way to test out this theory is to run your processes as elevated admin. If it works then the issue is as simple as a missing http.sys reservation (details of establishing one are in the above post)

I bought this book titled Microsoft Windows Communication Foundation Step by Step and in the second chapter when I run the application I get error and exceptions, shown below, about the service not being able to connect to tcp and http settings in the localhost:/8000 and 8080 set in the config file. Can you tell me what I have to do to get this to work. I emailed the help support referenced in the book about a month ago, but as usual it was a microsoft email address for support and emailing them is usually a waste of time. I have better luck emailing a dead person.
THanks

The HttpGetEnabled property of ServiceMetadataBehavior is set to true and the HttpGetUrl property is a relative address, but there is no http base address. Either supply an http base address or set HttpGetUrl to an absolute address.
