.net - ASP.NET v5 without DNX -

i understand dnx provides ability invoke various new package management features of asp.net v5 apps.

however, possible "build" 1 of these apps (using dnx etc) , "precompile" them in such way can deployed (using octopus) , run on unmodified iis server using .net framework 4.5?

i had option target .net 4.5 when creating project, , while installing dnx on our build server unlikely problem, it's push out our production web servers.

i discovered indeed possible.

i published app running following command in same directory project.json file:

dnu publish --runtime runtimex --no-source 

where runtimex appropriate installed runtime found using:

dnvm list 

this lists installed runtimes though following needed full name use argument dnu:

dnvm name default 

you can check args dnvm's "name" command specify processor bitness , runtime version , formatted name back.

once you've done this, take contents of bin\output , run in iis or iisexpress. worked charm me, though copied output other development vm has no vs2015/dnx tools installed yet.
