If you want some quality development do this are the recommandation for WCF. 1) .Net framework 4.0 2) Windows7 O/s. 3) Dont use xp. Cause xp will not give Some Duplex communiaction facility very effectivelly. 4) IIS version 7.0 and above.

WCF was originally introduced in .NET 3.0 and so should be present in Visual Studio 2008 which uses .NET 3.5 by default. Instead of using a pirated version I suggest your friend uses the free Express edition instead which can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/. See this thread (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/110451/how-to-add-wcf-templates-to-visual-studio-express) for instructions on copying the WCF templates to the Express edition.
