Installing ASP.NET MVC 4 on a server

How does one go about installing ASP.NET MVC 4 on a server. The Web Platform Installer insists on installing all kinds of Visual Studio 2010 stuff. I don't see a "server only" installation. For example, it wants to install "Visual Studio 2010 Core SP1" and "Visual Web Developer Express".

The safest thing to do would be to mark your reference to System.Web.Mvc as "copy local = true" in the reference's properties window. When you do a deploy, it will get copied into your bin folder.

It feels a bit backwards, but there you go.

I would install and run on local host, then use Visual Studio's "publish" to publish it to a web server. You can install it via http://www.asp.net/mvc. If you're asking how to install it on IIS, then read this:
