WCF test client no longer works in Visual Studio 2013 but does work in Visual Studio 2015

I am running both visual studio 2013 and visual studio 2015. I can't say when it started but most recently I was trying to debug a wcf service application in Visual Studio 2013 and the wcf test client will not launch. Instead, it launches a webpage with the localhost url. I tried creating a clean, new wcf project with the template IService and Service.svc only to have the same thing happen. However, when I go over to my different WCF project in Visual Studio 2015, the WCF client tool launches just fine when I press F5.
I have had 2015 installed for a while, and am fairly positive I have run the WCF client tool from 2013 just fine. In any event, I am not sure why it isn't working in 2013 nor how to get it to work. suggestions?
Right-click on the *.svc file and click on "Set As Start Page" then press F5.

Error Hosting WCF 3.5 Under IIS Express

I'm trying to run WCF Service based on 3.5 Framewor on Windows 8 with Visual Studio 2012 and IIS Express.
Service hosting fails with error "HTTP Error 404.17".
I'm trying with default Visual Studio WCF template setting framework 3.5.
Works fine if I select frameworks 4.0 or 4.5.
Is there a way to make 3.5 services works fine with IIS Express?
Http activation is enabled in Windows Features.
Tried install, re-install, remove and install Service Model via:
Framework64\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation> .\ServiceModelReg.exe -i
Still not working.

how to debug wcf web service in visual studio express?

I have developed the WCF web service in vb.net in visual studio 2010 express edition. also deployed t locally as of now. since VS Express does not support Unit testing i cannot test web service. where as restricted using framework like NUnit. how should i test my web service and debug it ?
Use WCF Test Client(found at this location -
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\
).
Bind the wcf TEST client process for debugging. From VS go to debug -> Attach to process -> wcfTestClient.exe.
Then execute the method from test client and you would be able to debug the service code
