TFS 2015: deploy website to IIS without installing extra add-ons to TFS

Recently, I started to keep my sources under TFS 2015. After moving our work items I have time to pay attention to new build. Everything looks pretty simple until I tried to deploy my website to local IIS. I have found pretty simple article how to do it - Deploy ASP.NET apps to domain-joined machines using WinRM. But this way was closed for me because I didn't have permission to install add-on from the market on TFS Server. So I came back to the old and proven method with MS Build. My parameters for MS Build look like :

/p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish /p:MSDeployPublishMethod=RemoteAgent /p:CreatePackageOnPublish=True /p:DeployIisAppPath="Sites/Stage" /p:MsDeployServiceUrl=10.XXX.XXX.XXX /p:username=DOMAIN\MyUserName /p:password=MyPassword

But I didn't want to store my password in build's configuration. So I looked into TFS variables for this. After small investigation I modified a bit MS Build string:

/p:DeployOnBuild=True /p:DeployTarget=MsDeployPublish /p:MSDeployPublishMethod=RemoteAgent /p:CreatePackageOnPublish=True /p:DeployIisAppPath="$(SiteName)" /p:MsDeployServiceUrl=10.XXX.XXX.XXX /p:username=DOMAIN\$(User) /p:password=$(Password)

And added SiteName, User and Password variables: 

Pay attention, that I set checkboxes at "Allow at Queue Time" section - it shows parameter in the dialog window during queue and set secret for Password variable. But you can't clear this field and turn off secret - in this case a developer who starts a build has to enter own credential.

So in such simple way, I added the possibility to deploy website without adding new add-ons to TFS.

Migration to ASP.NET MVC 4: Deployment.

We are developing ASP.NET MVC application. We are using a latest version of the frameworks. So I need to update a software after each framework's upgrade. It easy to do on the developer's machine: you can use web or standalone installer or nuget package.

Usual I used to run installer on the server for the previous version of ASP.NET MVC. But I noticed that installer for ASP.NET MVC 4 contains SQL Express Server and Visual Studio Express 2012 for Web. They are definitely not tools for the server's PC. I carried on with googling and found out that ASP.NET MVC 4 doesn't need any extra library in GAC. It requests .NET Framework (4 or 4.5) on the server and it all.
