I'm installing ASP.NET MVC 3 Beta and this thing comes out :

This product requires Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages 1.0. Please install the missing component, then try to install this product again.

What the hell? I'm using MVC 2 just fine. Should I go and install asp web pages 1.0 and where do I get if from ?

+3  A: 

The MVC 3 Beta download page contains download links for both the MVC 3 Beta installer (named AspNetMVC3Setup.exe) and the Web Pages installer (AspNetWebPages.msi).

Or you can use the following link to install everything automatically using WebPI: http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appid=MVC3

Microsoft ASP.NET Web Pages is the official name for the Razor view engine. Separately packaged so that other .Net and Web Matrix environments can also use it

k. now I see it. coz in MVC 3 preview it all was in one pack and now it is a bit confusing.

Well, the Preview1 code was a bit of a hack in which we simply included the Razor sources in the MVC assembly. Now it is factored into a seperate project so that it can be used from both MVC and other types of applications, like WebMatrix or even console apps.
