Hi My hosting Provider has support for MVC3 but not for MVC4. When I asked them to install MVC4 they say they support only MVC3 as the visual studio installed on the server is still in v3.5. I had read the release notes of MVC4 which requires visual studio 2010. I have converted all my application to MVC4 and having tough time with the hosting provider. My question is

  1. Is there any way that I can run MVC4 application with (VS2008 and
    MVC3)
  2. Can I use Bin deploy in this case? will it work?

Any suggestions are really appreciated. I dont want to downgrade my MVC4 application or dont want the hassle of transferring the hosting provider.

    No. Even MVC3 requires .NET 4.0 and VS 2010 to install the project template. If the latest .NET Framework version your host has installed on their servers is 3.5, you cannot run anything later than MVC2 over there, unfortunately.

    If you drop MVC3/4 DLLs to bin, you’ll get runtime errors.

    Downgrade MVC, or change the host. They are due upgrading their .NET version. If they don’t have that in plan soon, you’re working with a dinosaur that you’re likely looking at constant problems with.
