Lightswitch prerequisites on ASP.NET webserver
I am trying to deploy a LightSwitch application to a hosted ASP.NET webserver in my company. The application access data stored on a SQL Server. My webserver admin is asking me if there are any special prerequisites needed for it to run. I've been reviewing the deployment guide

The article lists that there was a server component, but that it might change when RTM arrived:
NOTE: The team is looking at simplifying this process and possibly making the LightSwitch server component pre-reqs go away so this process will likely change for RTM.
This other MSDN article states that there are prerequisites.

My webserver admin keeps saying there's nothing to install on the ASP.NET web server other than .NET 4.0.
Am I missing somethin开发者_运维技巧g?
Server setup procedures haven't changed since Beta 1 (although of course the runtime has changed). It's pretty simple; the prerequisites article that you cited has the correct information. Basically the process is:
- Install the Web Platform Installer if you don't already have it installed
- Fire up the WPI and search for the LightSwitch runtime
- Install!
As mentioned in the article, you'll need to decide whether you want to install a new instance of SQL Server locally with the prerequisites. If you've already planned for a production SQL Server, you'll want to choose the "without local SQL" option.
I don't have a specific answer, but I would stand up a VM with the appropriate version of windows server on it and run through an install on a do novo machine. Should confirm or deny what your server admin says . . .
