Reference svcmap specified argument was out of the range of valid values

 this error occurs after deploying a WCF Service to IIS 6 which was referenced from Visual Studio 2008 with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 and works perfectly in the local development environment. The server is a Windows Server 2003 with .NET Framework 3.5 without the SP1 installed. We solved the problem by installing 3.5 SP1.
