What version of .net will MVC 2 require?

Question

Will MVC 2 run on .net framework version 4.0 or 3.5 sp1? Has Microsoft even made an announcement yet as to what the requirements are?

Also, Will MVC 2 be an installation separate from .net 4.0 or will it be installed with 4.0?

Answer 1

Per Scott Guthrie, ASP.NET MVC 2 is designed to work with both VS 2008 / .NET 3.5, as well as with VS 2010 / .NET 4.

for the mvc 2 installation question

ASP.NET MVC 2 is a built-in component of VS 2010 / .NET 4 – which means you will not have to download or install anything to get it once you install any version of Visual Studio 2010. The current public VS 2010 Beta 2 release includes the ASP.NET MVC 2 Preview 2 release. The upcoming VS 2010 Release Candidate that will be available for download next month will have a more recent ASP.NET MVC 2 RC built-in.

Answer 2

It will run on .NET 3.5 SP1 and higher
