I suspect that this mean that you don't have MVC2 installed on the target machine and it's warning you that when the app is compiled there it will fail.

Maybe you need to install MVC 2 on the computer you are deploying to.

Set "Copy Local" to "true" on the System.Web.Mvc in the References of your project and deploy with System.Web.Mvc.dll in your bin folder.
