Running asp.net WebAPI on server without having to install asp.net mvc 4 beta

Question

I have created a simple http service using apicontroller and i want to upload it on server. But the problem is that i can't install asp.net mvc4 beta on server. Is there any workaround.

Answer 1

You can bin deploy MVC. (Link is for MVC3, but should work for MVC4 as well.)

Basically, you'll copy the necessary MVC assemblies in your project's bin folder, so there will be nothing extra to install on the server, and your host doesn't need to support it.
