Hi,

I have my 2.0 web application running in VS 2008. I added a web setup
project to the same solution and selected the template while creating the
project as: .Net Framework 2.0. After creating the .msi, I tried running it
on a different machine, which has .net framework 2.0. It prompts to install
.net 3.5. I want it to work on 2.0.

Please advice as to what am I missing while creating my setup project.

Thanks,
Pooja.

Hello Pooja,

What are the settings of web setup project?
there should be the reference of which version .NET FW is required during
installation

Hi Michael,

Thanks for replying.

There is a pre-requisites section, there I selected .Net 2.0 instead of .Net
3.5. I also tried removing everything from this section. Still it asks for
installation of .net 3.5 only.

Thanks,
Pooja.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your help. I got the solution. You just need to do the following:
1. Right click on the Setup Project in Solution Explorer.
2. View -> Launch Conditions.
3. Select .Net Framework. Properties -> select the appropriate version of
.net framework.

Thanks,
Pooja.
