title: Can I host a WCF service with NetMsmqBinding in root "/" application of an IIS7 site?
body: <p>I have created a WCF service with NetMsmqBinding, and hosted it in IIS7 using Windows Activation Service (WAS).  </p>
  
  <p><strong>Current (works perfectly):</strong></p>
  
  <p>Hosted in IIS at: <code>http://localhost/MyService/MyService.svc</code></p>
  
  <p>With the service endpoint address: <code>http://localhost/private/MyService/MyService.svc</code></p>
  
  <p>And the corresponding queue: <code>.\private$\MyService/MyService.svc</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>Desired (does nothing, not even an error message):</strong></p>
  
  <p>Hosted in IIS at: <code>http://localhost/MyService.svc</code></p>
  
  <p>With the service endpoint address: <code>http://localhost/private/MyService.svc</code></p>
  
  <p>And the corresponding queue: <code>.\private$\MyService.svc</code></p>
  
  <p>Everything works perfectly when I use the MyService IIS application.  But the same setup (code, IIS security, queue security, etc.) does nothing when I try to use the root "/" app instead of the "MyService" app to host the service.  I don't get any errors in the Event Log.  The incoming messages just sit in the queue.</p>
  
  <p>Is hosting a WAS-activated service supported in in the root application of an IIS7 site?</p>
