Opening an MVC3 project on a machine without MVC3 installed?

I've read the blog posts on deploying MVC3 projects to shared hosting environments that do not have MVC3 installed:

http://www.iwantmymvc.com/2011-03-23-bin-deploy-aspnet-mvc-3-visual-studio

I'm opening an MVC3 project in VS2010 on a machine that does not have MVC3 installed. I have added the references to my *.csproj file:

<Reference Include="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL">
<HintPath>..\..\lib\System.Web.Mvc.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="System.Web.Helpers">
<HintPath>..\..\lib\System.Web.Helpers.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="System.Web.Razor">
<HintPath>..\..\lib\System.Web.Razor.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="System.Web.WebPages">
<HintPath>..\..\lib\System.Web.WebPages.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="System.Web.WebPages.Deployment">
<HintPath>..\..\lib\System.Web.WebPages.Deployment.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="System.Web.WebPages.Razor">
<HintPath>..\..\lib\System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>
<Reference Include="Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure">
<HintPath>..\..\lib\Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll</HintPath>
</Reference>

I'm still getting the following error:

The project type is not supported by this installation.

I'll open up the project on a machine with MVC3 installed and browse to the references, which correctly points to the local lib file. What am I missing?
