.NET Forum / Languages / C# / February 2008Problem with VS2008 Target Framework
I am working on an application in VS2008. I have set the target framework to 2.0. I distributed the app to a coworker in MSI format. When he tried to install it, he was told that he needed to install the 3.5 framework. I am wondering, when I created the project, I didn't even notice the dropdown in the create project dialog to select the target framework, so it was initially created with 3.5 as the target framework. But I went into the project properties and changed it to 2.0. I wonder if that is why he was told he needed the 3.5 framework? Did you change the properties on the project which created the executable, or did you change the property on the setup project? The dependency on the .NET framework in the setup project has to be changed to .NET 2.0 as well.

Sure enough, I checked the setup project's properties pre-requisites, and 3.5 was checked and 2.0 was not. > <za...@construction-imaging.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > framework.

OK, I unchecked 3.5 and checked 2.0 in the setup project properties prerequisites and rebuilt the setup. I tried installing the app on a computer that does not have 3.5 framework installed yet and the setup still tells me that I first need to install the 3.5 framework. And more ideas? > <za...@construction-imaging.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > framework. But I went into the project properties and changed it to > > 2.0. I wonder if that is why he was told he needed the 3.5 framework? If you have 2.0 on both, then it should only look for .NET 2.0. Are you sure you are rebuilding the setup proejct? Doing CTRL+SHIFT+B will not rebuild the setup project, I've always had to right click on the setup project and select "Rebuild".

Are you certain that you are not referencing any 3.5 versions of any assemblies? Just a shot in the dark, but you could examine the .csproj file and see what versions of all references you are using.
