Visual Studio 2008: Setup Project Targeting .NET Framework 2.0

environment: Visual Studio 2008, .NET/C# Project Targeting Framework 2.0, Standard Setup Project

problem: Setup always requests framework 3.5

solution

• All deployed projects must target framework 2.0
• Prerequistes of setup project must be 2.0 (not 3.5). ATTENTION I couldn't change this separately for Release build and had to this manually using notepad/gvim
• Launch condition must be changed to 2.0 (I had to clean and rebuild a couple of times until it let me select 2.0)
