Problem with measurement studio 2009 in visual studio 2008 when deploying a program built for .Net 2.0 framework

[Jürgen Cramer]

I am building a .NET 2.0 application using visual studio 2008 with Measurement Studio 2009 installed. 

I installed my application to a target computer Windows XP SP3 with .Net 2.0.

When starting the application it throws an exception, that it needs .Net 3.5 to be installed.

What can I do that my application runs only with .Net 2.0?

Hey Jürgen,

are you sure you build a .NET 2.0 application and not a .NET 3.5 by mistake? Normally this should work without any problems.

Could you also check again which .Net version is installed on the target computer.

Different versions of .NET are not backward compatible.

I.e., 3.5 does not contain 1.1, 2.0 or 3.0.

You need to install separately one or more of them.
