RE: Problem with VS 2008 Setup project

Hi Alan,

As for the vs 2008 setup project always prompt for .NET 3.5 issue, based on
my experience, the following things could be the cause:

1. by default, the "Prerequisites" will include ".NET framework 3.5",
you've modified it as you mentioned

2. When you add file content into the setup project(e.g through another
..net project's output), the setup project will add a "Launch Condition" in
the "Detected Dependencies"(that launch condition also checks for .NET
framework 3.5). Therefore, you need to remove this launch condition(or
change its checking version to .net framework 2.0)

You can go to the Launch Condition view through the following means:

right click setup project node in solution explorer-->view ---> Launch
conditions

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng

I've created a new Windows Forms Project in Visual Studio 2008 targeting
the
2.0 framework (this is going to be running on Windows 2000 machines).

I've added a setup project to the solution and under project properties |
prerequisites I've ensured that only Windows Installer 3.1 and .Net
framework 2.0 are ticked.

However, when a user tries to run the msi they are given the message "This
setup requires the .Net framework version 3.5. Please install the .Net
Framework and run this setup again."

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong or how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for any help,

Alan
