The below error may lead the developer to confusion.

A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://localhost:81/MyWCFHello/MyHelloWcfApp.Servi...
<%@ ServiceHost Service="MyHelloWcfApp.Service1" %>

1. Open Inetmgr
2. Select your website
3. right click to properties -> Select ASP.Net tab
4. Change the version to ASP.Net 4.0

Hope this helps
