    Hi, i am developing an application in Visual Studio 2008. My Destination Framework - Setting is set to ".Net Framework 2.0"; I do not need special functions of .Net 3.5 and I want the tool installed as quick and easy as possible. I am using the Built-In "Setup Project" to install my application. The problem now is that When only including .Net Framework 2.0 in my installation package, the installer says it need .Net Framework 3.5. How can this happen? If not really needed I want to keep using the 'old' Framwork 2.0. Regards, Chris

      Check your project properties. What does the Application ->Target Framework say? If that still says .NET Framework 3.5, then you know why its not using 2.0

        This is the strange thing! I selected .Net Framework 2.0. But even in the begining when creating the setup Project it wants to include .Net Framework 3.5. I deselected 3.5 and selected 2.0. On another machine where i tried the setup process, a message told me that 3.5 is needed and can be downloaded online.

          Right click the setup solution on the solution explorer. At the bottom there is a "prerequisite" button. Make sure that the 3.5 Framework and 3.5 Framework SP1 are deselected. Maybe that will fix it.

              Are you using any features that are only available in 3.5? LINQ for instance

                Not to my knowledge. I am not using LINQ. Is there a possibility to check what framework is needed; and because of what? I thought Visual Studio would tell me when it needs 3.5 to compile...

                  What is the original source project properties -> Application Framework setting?

                    Thats a good question. I suppose the one that created the project started with using Framework 3.5. Could this be the reason?

                      Right click the setup project and select View->Lauch Conditions. Click to expand the Launch Conditions in the little tree, then select .NET Framework. In properties, you can select the Version.

                          Glad to finally find one I could answer. I always ask for help, but never get a chance to give a little. Have a great day.
