How to install "Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW" without installing Visual Studio?

Is it possible to install "Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW" on a machine without installing Visual Studio and Expression Blend?

The reason I am asking is that I want to install it on a build server.

You can download and install the tools and then uninstall any options you don't require. Such as VS2010Express & Blend.

Unfortunately there isn't a better solution available at the moment.

Yes, that's exactly why downloads like the one you referenced exist - build servers, production servers have to build/run without Visual Studio.

Do you have specific needs here? I see the q is tagged for Windows Phone.

Online info about the Windows Phone developer tools seems to indicate that it's currently a bit of a work in progress. Don't see any obvious way to put this standalone on a build machine.
