Probably you haven't configured the HelloWorld directory as a Virtual
Directory in IIS. To so, choose Add New Virtual Directory in the IIS MMC
plugin, give it a name and point it to the location of your project. Then
you can use it by browsing to
http://localhost/NameOfVirtualDir/Service1.ASMX.
Although if you create a new Web Project in Visual Studio, these things
should be set automatically.
