ASP.NET MVC 3 Requirements

Will ASP.NET MVC 3 run on Windows Server 2008 R2 Core? I've done some searching and can't seem to find this information.

Thanks

I just set up a Windows Server 2008 R2 in Server Core configuration. I installed MVC3 using the standard installer:

.\AspNetMVC3Setup.exe /q /log C:\mvc3setup.htm

This installed successfully and a sample MVC3 site works just fine.

According to the Server Core Installation Option Getting Started Guide, Windows Server 2008 R2 Core supports Web Server (including a subset of ASP.NET). Based on some to the additional features you can install (optional features) it looks very limited.

The red flags that stand out for me on the optional features are:

  • Subset of .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5
  • Subset of .NET Framework 2.0

Based on the documentation, I come to the conclusion that running MVC3 would be very difficult and not possible.
