Remove v3.5 reference?

[Elliot]

How can I know what references I have used in my project? Is it those under
"All Components" in Object Browser? How to remove them?
I am going to downgrade my project from .NET Framework 3.5 to 2.0 by
changing TargetFramework to ".NET Framework 2.0" in Project Properties.
Howerver, the installer still ask the user has to install 3.5 first.

How can I know what references I have used in my project?

Expand the "references" node in solution explorer.

Is it those under "All Components" in Object Browser?

Not sure - I don't use the Object Browser much.

How to remove them?

Select a reference and hit "Delete" IIRC.

Hmm... not sure why that is. I'm not terribly knowledgeable about
installers.

Ehh, might be an idea to open the project file with notepad and delete
the references that way... (If you cant do it from the IDE)

Even I remove those has runtime version 3.5, the installer also ask install
3.5.

 

[Elliot]

I discover a new thing.
I made a new setup project without adding anything in it, the installer also
ask user to install 3.5 in anvance.

Is .Net 3.5 checked as a prerequisite in your setup project?

 

[Elliot]

No, I unchecked 3.5(checked in default) and checked 2.0.

 

[Elliot]

Is it that one?

"ExternalPersistence"
{
"LaunchCondition"
{
"{A06ECF26-33A3-4562-8140-9B0E340D4F24}:_09F164BB6F534AE3B0FB7ABC30979DF5"
{
"Name" = "8:.NET Framework"
"Message" = "8:[VSDNETMSG]"
"Version" = "8:3.5.21022"
"AllowLaterVersions" = "11:FALSE"
"InstallUrl" =
"8:http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76617"
}
}
}

Will it take effect?
View->Editor->Launch conditions
Select .NET Framework & change version to 2.0.50727?

Have you looked at the properties for the installer?

 

[Elliot]

Yes, but nothing refer to .NET Framework.

Will it take effect?
View->Editor->Launch conditions
Select .NET Framework & change version to 2.0.50727?

I have been fighting with the exact same isuue earlier today, and found
the solution to be two-fold:

1. View > Editor > Launch Conditions, select .NET Framework, set Version =
2.0.50727 in the property window.

2. Right-click setup project > Properties, click the "Prerequisites..."
button, check ".NET Framework 2.0 (x86)", uncheck ".NET Framework 3.5".

Hope this helps

 

[Elliot]

Yes, it works finely now.
Thanks for anyone showing your ideas.

Also check the GAC.
