Pluggable/Modular Development ASP.net MVC4

Question

I need help on developing an ASP.net MVC4 application with pluggable modules approach. I tried to use Areas for this but this is not very handy to use with plugging two different solutions. My target is to develop a module app (A) that can be pluggable to any other web applications (X,Y,Z).

I need some guidance to achieve this.

Thanks
