REST Services

I'm working on getting the REST services setup based on some awesome information I received at the Kentico Connection in Denver and having some difficulties with getting WCF installed right. I'm going through all the prerequisites and for whatever reason my Windows 7 SP1 machine will not install the WCF Non-HTTP Activation. I've tried everything suggested, from uninstalling .NET 4.0, IIS, etc and still no success. Any other suggestions or difficulties this has given anyone else?

RE:REST Services

So what I had to do was where you Turn Windows Features On or Off, I had to make sure IIS had the following checked:

No FTP Server (we dont need)
All of Web Management Tools
Under World Wide Web Services
--All of Health and Diagnostics
--All of Performance Features
--All of Security
--All but CGI and Server-Side Includes for Application Development Features
--All but WebDAV publishing fro Common HTTP Features.

After those were checked and installed I was able to turn Windows Communication Foundation HTTP and Non-HTTP Activation features of Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.1 on.

Then to get REST to work properly, I did also have to resolve "Issue 1" Brian McKeiver mentions in his post. Also followed the pre-requisites from the dev guide.
