Question
ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta was just released and I'm a bit confused as to what is required to run it.
Does it require .NET 4?
If I have an App that was created using Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2, can I port it to ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta by referencing the proper DLLs? If so what DLLs do I need?
Can I run ASP.NET MVC Beta 2 on .NET 4 ready hosting server (with ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta installed)?
In this comment by Phil Haack, he offers instructions on how to run "ASP.NET MVC 2 on VS2008 side by side with VS2010". If I do this setup, would I be able to run an ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta with VS 2010 Beta 2 but without the tools?
Solution
If you read through the download page, you can see only .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 is necessary. So .NET Framework 4 is not required.

Update
I misread the question. Based on this post by Phil Haack, it appears you can't migrate from VS 2010 Beta 2 to ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta:
Unfortunately, because Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta share components which are currently not in sync, running ASP.NET MVC 2 Beta on VS10 Beta 2 is not supported.
