Publishing server doesn't work - error 'The request URL doesn't contain the query string for the client OS'

Question

Hi,
I'm trying to setup an App-V environment in my lab.
I've used the App-V 5.0 Trial guide to help me configure all necessary components.
I'm able to install everything without error.
when come time to publish an app, it simply doesn't show up on my client.
after looking at events on the client and server, I found that the Publishing server is returning under Admin the following message.
'The request URL doesn't contain the query string for the client OS'
My setup is pretty simple.
App-V Server managament and Publishing on the same box
App-V database on my SQL server.
I'm able to see the publishing "webpage" by using http:://localhost:889.
It only display this :
-<Publishing Protocol="1.0"
<Packages />
</Publishing>
I've published one app from the management console.
any idea what could mean this error?
thanks

Hi,
thanks for the link.
I've validated the suggested debug steps. It seems that the problem is with my Publish server again.
I've looked in the web.config file. It seems to be missing some parts compare to the example provided.
Again, I've published an application from the management console. Management and Publishing are running on the same box, while SQL is remote.
Here's the web.config
