Is it possible to "go-live" here?

    This is a followup to the earlier question about when DASP will install .NET 4 on their production servers.

    Since .NET 4 is now in "go-live" status from Microsoft, has anyone tried a local deployment of .NET 4 DLLs in the bin directory, precompiling everything (since the .NET 4 compiler won't be installed) then shoving it on a production server? If so, did you have any luck doing so? I'd like to do a few new projects using .NET 4, but since some of those would be due before the official launch, I'd be stuck once it's time to deploy it.

    Any ideas?

    It's an interesting idea but I struggle to see how .NET 4 precompiled code is going to execute on the DASP production servers that only have .NET3.5 framework installed on them..

    We have a free .NET 4 sandbox at http://labs.discountasp.net.

    We do not install beta frameworks on the production servers. We will try to make .NET 4 available as soon as possible after its official release next year.

    .NET 4.0 application cannot be bin deployed. The framework distro must be installed on the server.

    Even though MSFT released a goLive license, it is recommended to us that we should not install it into existing production environment.

    The idea was to copy the .NET DLLs needed to the bin directory. I actually tried that once to put a 3.5 app on Win2K (.NET 3.5 won't install on Win2K) and it worked. That didn't require a separate compiler though - which is why for this idea I was thinking things would have to be precompiled.

    The really good news is, according to ScottGu, .NET 4 will be the first .NET version fully backward compatible. ;-)
