Hi,

I am developing a solution using C# targetting the .Net framework 2.0. The
solution contains an window's form executable and a number of class library
projects. The solution also contains a WindowsInstaller project.

I've set the pre-requisites of the installation project to require .Net 2
and not .Net 3 nor 3.5. However, when I run the installer on a clean build of
XP it is prompting to me to install .Net 3.5.

I've checked that all assemblies are targeting the .Net 2.0. Why is the
installer requiring 3.5?

Regards,
Dave.

1. When you created the window form application project, did you
correctly select the Runtime to be Dotnet2?

2. check the Installer project, Launch conditions. What is the version
of Dotnet framework in ".Net Framwwork" launch condition?

Thanks for Jacky's input.

Hi Dave,

As Jacky suggested, you can first check whether you've choosed the ".net
framework 2.0" when creating the setup project. If you've chosen the ".net
3.5" option, the setup project may naturally rely on .net framework 3.5.
Also, for further testing, you can try creating a very simplified setup
project with the VS 2008 IDE(choose .net version 2) to see whether you can
repro the behavior.

Sincerely,

Hi Steven,

I created a small test project and ensured that the dll and exe where
targetting .Net 2.0. I then added an installation projected (.Net 2.0) to the
solution and the same problem occurred.

Under the installation projects, one of the detected dependancies is the
..Net Framework. Under the properties for this, the launch conditions was set
to .Net 3.5 (Jacky, thanks for note, but hadn't realised this was the setting
you were refering to). Changing this to 2.0 solved the problem.

Thank you for your help.
