Is it possible to install "Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW" on a machine without installing Visual Studio and Expression Blend?
The reason I am asking is that I want to install it on a build server.

A:
Yes, that's exactly why downloads like the one you referenced exist - build servers, production servers have to build/run without Visual Studio.
Do you have specific needs here? I see the q is tagged for Windows Phone.
Online info about the Windows Phone developer tools seems to indicate that it's currently a bit of a work in progress. Don't see any obvious way to put this standalone on a build machine.

The reference to the "shaft[ing]" of VS RTM was an issue with the CTP if you subsequently installed VSpro. THe RTM tools do not have this problem.

You can download and install the tools and then uninstall any options you don't require. Such as VS2010Express & Blend.
Unfortunately there isn't a better solution available at the moment.
