This was a real question, and it was answered perfectly. Many people are asking the same question (including myself an hour ago), to find the answer given. I am glad that there was only one answer, but I don't appreciate the disrespect by Xander, @Lex Li, and Kev by using this closure flag. – Naturalize

I agree, it was a good question and interesting answers! – Sulamith

Answer 1

MVC3 requires .NET 4 or greater. No way around it.

You will have to either upgrade the server to .NET 4 (it can have both 3.5 and 4 installed at the same time) or you will have to downgrade your app to MVC2. If you are using Razor, that will also mean converting all your views to Webforms views as Razor does not work on .NET 3.5.
