Q:

How do I install MVC3 on a server without using the Web Platform Installer (and without Visual Studio)?

How do I install MVC3 on a server without using the Web Platform Installer (and without Visual Studio)?
I can't seem to locate a standalone installer, and the server won't have VS, and I can't ensure that all the apps will have the binaries included to run it on native .NET4.
Is the only way to install MVC3 support with VS support, even if VS isn't around? 
In case it isn't obvious, I'm trying to give the IT group a baseline of packages to install, and the easiest way to do that is to give them the binaries and a few scripts

Referencing the link on http://www.asp.net/mvc/mvc3 we get a link to http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=1491 | ASP.NET MVC 3 Tools Update
I think that's what you're looking for.

ASP.NET MVC 3 is a framework for developing highly testable and maintainable Web applications by leveraging the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern. The framework encourages developers to maintain a clear separation of concerns among the responsibilities of the application – the UI logic using the view, user-input handling using the controller, and the domain logic using the model. ASP.NET MVC applications are easily testable using techniques such as test-driven development (TDD).
  The installation package includes templates and tools for Visual Studio 2010 to increase productivity when writing ASP.NET MVC applications. For example, the Add View dialog box takes advantage of customizable code generation (T4) templates to generate a view based on a model object. The default project template allows the developer to automatically hook up a unit-test project that is associated with the ASP.NET MVC application.
