Problem:

Missing service interface file message when running imtkmake -generate command.

Resolution:

Using the Net Express 5.0 Interface Mapping Toolkit GUI to create a mapping for a Web Service and then run the imtkmake.exe command line utility with the -generate option to create a .car file deployment package, the message "Missing service interface file" can be shown. This may happen running the command from a location where the interface file does not reside. This particular file goes by the name of the web service with a .xml extension. For instance, if the command is:

imtkmake -generate service=MyWebService type=webservice   

then the service interface file name would be MyWebService.xml. Having used the Interface Mapper GUI to map the interface from a project, this file can be found in the REPOS subdirectory.
