    Why does CLick once insist on .net 3.5

    Hi,
    I have a basic app that I have build and am trying to use the click
    once/publish feature to make the installation.

    I have create a Virtual Machine using XP SP2, install VS.2005(aka dev) and
    created the project.

    I have a second Virtual Machine also with XP SP2(aka Clean), nothing else
    installed.

    When I use the Clean machine to run the installation it first wants to to
    install dotNet framework 3.5

    I don't want to have the user having to install 62mb of .net 3.5 framework
    when the application is build for 2.0

    I have checked the setting for the publish now function, and the only
    Prerequisite is .net framework 2.0

    Even when I unclick this (to test) the application installation still wants
    to install .net 3.5 framework.

    What is going on!!!

    I want to have XP Sp2 users using my applicaton, so since they already have
    2.0 then I don't have to install anything but my little application

      Hi Aussie,
      Just a guess, if you have used VS 2008 for a while then the target
      framework may have been set to 3.5,then 2.0 clients may have forced to
      use 3.5.

          Hi Kimi... (your off to a good year so far with a few wins already!)

          I was thinking that that was an issue, so I created the Virtual Machine with
          only VS2005 and nothing else. I have not installed the .net 3.5 frame work
          on the VM machine.

          From what I can tell its totally clean environment.

          Which is why I am so confused and frustrated!

              Under the Application tab of your project's properties, check the Target
              Framework. My guess is that it is set to .Net 3.5 instead of .Net 2.0.

                  I'm assuming you are publishing with VS2008, by the way.
