Requirements for running ASP.Net MVC 2 and MVC 4 side by side

I'm having a hard time finding the information after searching. We have a brand new server for our sites. One is a MVC 2 site, and the other is a MVC 4 site. I want to install just the bare requirements for these two sites.

Is the MVC framework included in certain versions of .Net? The installers on the MVC site look like they're all for development, and I don't want any of the tools installed, just what's required for the sites to run.

The installers for either MVC 2 or 4 do have the tooling included, but it will only be installed when you have Visual Studio installed on a given machine. If it's just a server then you should feel free to use those installers.

Installing .NET 4 is all you need. Then make sure the DLLs are copied during deployment, i.e. use bin deployment for the ASP.NET MVC 2 application.
