[RESOLVED] Setup needs .Net 3.5?! (olny used .net 2.0)

[dannystommen]

I create a winform application which uses only .Net 2.0. This app uses a DLL that also uses only .Net2.0

Then I created a Setup project, also .Net 2.0. But when an user wants to run the setup, a message is prompted that .Net3.5 is needed and starts downloading.


In the "Launch Conditions" folder and "Dedected dependencies" folder of the setup project, there is a file .Net framework. When I open the properties of it, it says version 3.5. I cannot delete this file. Why is this file there if it is not needed by the application?

I'm confused. Can I configure it in an way that the user does not need to download .Net 3.5?

VS 2008? You can set the deployment architecture when you compile it

Solved the problem...

In the setup project, under 'Detected dependencies', 'Microsoft .NEt Framework' can be found. WHen I opened the properties of it, the version was 3.5.21022. I could not remove it, but when select the Version property, suddenly a dropdown showed up. Changed it into 2.0.50727. Now it works fine :)

Didn't I could change it the version.
