Did you create a WCF Service Library, or a Windows Service to which you then added a WCF Service class and scaffold?

If so, then this will explain it.

The Publish option only appears for web projects in VS - so that's either the Website or the Web Application Project. Also, .svc files are only required for services that are hosted in Asp.Net as a file extension is needed (before any rewrite rules) to 'activate' the service host.

Create a new Website Application.

Add a new WCF service to it (which should also add the .svc), and then update the dummy interfaces & stub class with your service code.
