VSeWSS1.3 Error: WCF Service does not have local administrator permission

VSeWSS1.3 Error: WCF Service does not have local administrator permission..
I get this error first time while using "Package" option in VseWSS1.3

To fix this ..

Go to IIS and find out which application pool is been used by VseWSS and change the identy to local admin user. thats it..

In my case it was using Builtin account "NETWORKSERVICE", which I have changed to "Administrator" and it is working fine now. I am using IIS 7.5.

VseWSS1.3 error: the response message does not match the content type.. be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly

Error while using VseWSS1.3
"The content type text/html; charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (text/xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly........"

I get this error very first time when I was clicking "Package" option in VseWSS1.3

To resolve it:

You should enable WCF Activation.

1.Open up Server Manager
2.Select Features, then Add Features
3.Expand the .NET Framework 3.0 Features
4.Expand WCF Activation
5.Tick and select HTTP Activation. This will automatically select WCF activation for you.
Click Next to Add the feature, that’s it.
