depencency problem in vs2008 setup project

Hi

I recently switched over to VS2008 and had to create my first setup project
(in VS2008) for an already existing project. So I had Visual Studio convert
the existing solution, then added a setup project to it. I made sure that
the runtime version of the upgraded project was set to 2.0 as I'm currently
not using any language features beyond 2.0. After creating the setup
project, I went into its properties and changed the dependencies to only
include Windows Installer 3.1 and .NET 2.0.

I shipped out the result of the setup project to a client, who only had .NET
2.0 installed on their machines. They soon found out that they couldn't
install my app on their machines without upgrading to .NET 3.5 - the setup,
even though I told it to only require .NET 2.0, would complain that v3.5 was
not present and refuse to continue.

I suppose I must've missed a flag somewhere but I can't figure out where so
any ideas would be welcome.

Regards
Stephan
