WCF: Non HTTP Activation service installation issue

  • Artículo

 

Problem Statement:  

We have a server machine where Net.Pipe Listener Adapter, Net.Tcp Listener Adapter services are deleted while in the server machine these services were running fine. When we observed that these services are disabled, we tried to enable the services but we got a pop up that these services are marked for deletion. Also, it asks the server to be rebooted but being the production server reboot is not possible.  

Analysis:  

As soon as you will try to install these services it will give you errors. Event Logs will show you following logs:

Resolution:  

So it is clear that WCF Non Http Activation installation is failing. Let us try again and try to see the messages that system generates when we try to install these. 

Perform following steps: 

  • Open Control Panel
  • Windows Feature Turn on/Off console
  • Opened Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5.1
  • Non HTTP Activation

 

You will get the following error message immediately. 

Error: You cannot activate this unless you activate Window Process Activation Service 

    • .Net Environment

    • Configuration API

    • Process Model 

So to install the above components follow the steps as shown below: 

  • Reach to Windows Feature Turn on/Off console
  • Window Process Activation Service
  • Check the following components
    • .Net Environment
    • Configuration API
    • Process Model

 

Then, 

  • Open Control Panel and reach to Windows Feature Turn on/Off console-
  • Open Microsoft.Net Framework 3.5.1
  • HTTP Activation
  • Non HTTP Activation 

It will install and enabled the deleted services. Below event log confirms the success.

So this will install the required services without rebooting the server. Correct steps are mandatory to install the required service.  

Hope this Helps.
