What version of .NET 4.0 is required for website hosting? Customer or full?

Question

A simple question → for dedicated website hosting, I need to download and install the full ASP.NET 4.0 package or just a client.

I understand that the client is needed for end users who need the .NET platform for their windows-based applications.

But I'm not sure about sceanrio web hosting.

Also, don't worry about talking about x86 or x64 - I understand the differences with packages, etc.

Answer 1

ASP.Net runtime is only included in the full installation.

(This is one of the biggest savings in the client profile; ASP.Net is big)

Answer 2

Yes, you need to complete. The client profile specifically excludes ASP.NET.
