Answer 1

These namespaces are available for IIS 7 and later. There is no way to implement them on downlevel platforms.

In order to code against IIS 5.1 (Windows XP) or IIS 6 (Windows Server 2003) please see the following:

IIS Programmatic Administration SDK

What helped me to solve the same issue is installing "Web Services Enhancements (WSE) 2.0 SP3 for Microsoft .NET Redistributable Runtime MSI"
