Physical installation of MVC

When I install ASP.NET MVC, am I installing a different run-time, compiler, etc? Or, is it just GACing some managed assemblies for the framework?

It is installing System.Web.Abstractions.dll, System.Web.Routing.dll and System.Web.Mvc.dll assemblies into the GAC and depending on the type of install it could also install a VS project template.

MVC uses the same runtime and same compiler. It will add new project templates, page and controller templates to Visual Studio template folders. Also assemblies are added to the GAC.
