With the recent shift in asp.net stack going mostly open source, they have advocated uninstalling the beta bits that were installed to prevent nuget nightly from being accidentally pulling the GACd dlls, therefore the way your project convert works fails to "detect the MVC4 install", thus it fails to do the install of the controls with the error message, "ASP.NET MVC 4 installation could  not be detected. Please install ASP.NET MVC4"

Hello Morgan,

Thank you for contacting us.

Could you share a bit more about your development environment? How did you manage to set up your development environment without having installed the MVC 4 tools? Do you have any MVC specific tooling, such as the "Add New Controller" wizard (screenshot attached)?


Kind regards,
Andrey

laptop and desktop both running VS 2010 Ult Sp1.  The only thing installed for MVC4 are the support tools for the templates for now.  As for later on the blog indicated they will moving to a vsix package to install templates for the release of MVC4.  Yes the normal functionality for adding views and controllers does exist.

Thanks for the clarifications. 

If I understood you correctly, you do have the tooling installed, but do not have the framework installed, as you are using an updated version through nuget.

That indeed looks like a valid use case. While simply removing the MVC 4 install detection is a simple task, doing that will require extensive testing.

We will definitely consider enabling the scenario, so long as Microsoft is releasing updates through .vsix packages/nuget.

Kind regards,
