When i went through Phil Haack’s blog on hacked.com i found that Visual Studio 2010 RC does not come with latest ASP.NET MVC 2 – RC2 with in it.

We have to download and install the latest ASP.NET MVC 2 – RC2 from Microsoft/Codeplex downloads.

So we need to uninstall the existing ASP.NET  MVC 2 – setup from the system first.

Remember you should not uninstall “ASP.NET MVC 2 – Tools for Visual Studio 2010”, we need to uninstall the only  “ASP.NET MVC 2” and “ASP.NET MVC 2  - Tools for Visual Studio 2008” from windows add/remove programs in windows xp/2003  and  from program & features in vista/7/2008 systems.

Then install the ASP.NET MVC 2- RC2 setup you have downloaded in your system.

open up the VS2010RC and try creating a sample asp.net MVC 2 web application and see the build number of System.Web.Mvc assembly in the project referances. and Start on building the application. You have it..

Wait!!! Before starting your work.. please read  Phil Haack’s Blog on Installing ASP.NET MVC 2 RC 2 on Visual Studio 2010 RC

Happy Coding !!!

One thought on “Installing ASP.NET MVC 2 RC 2 on Visual Studio 2010 RC”
  1. I was doing trials and trials. i went in to a problem. i accidently uninstalled the ASP.NET MVC 2- tools for VS2010, which a required component for our actions.

    so i found a help tip from Phil Haack that we can run the setup again from

    \WCU\ASPNETMVC\VS2010ToolsMVC2.msi

    i made it.. thanks Phil..
