ADO.NET Entities Failure (RTM)

Running against my database, I end up with code generated that has the
following:
[global::System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute(IsReference=true)]

which generates the error:
'System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute' does not contain a
definition for 'IsReference'

It appears the System.Runtime.Serialization is not properly updated by
Visual Studio 2008 SP1, or at least not on Windows Server 2008 (my desktop
OS). Will try to go through and create exact repro steps.

History:
1. Installed Visual Studio SP1
Did not install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 first, as assumed this would be
part of VS SP1
2. Installed SQL Server 2008 Developer
3. Rebooted numerous times
(per
http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3586027&SiteID=1&pageid=0)
4. Repair installed .NET Framework 3.5 SP1

Still running the issue after repair reinstall ... and rebooting. Attempted stealing the assemblies from the temp folder, but I am not sure which msp to run to get them. Going to attempt a VS 2008 SP1 repair install, as well. And then punt until I can afford time to completely rebuild the machine, as that is ... unfortunately ... generally the best option when an MS SP fails.

Any other ideas?
