.NET prerequisites, 3.5sp1 but no 3.5? problem with 4.0?

Question

The title is confusing but the problem is not so much.

I made a prerequisite with the default 3.5sp1 and windows installer 3.1.

I ran it in my VM and to my surprise it asked me to install .NET. I checked the version and i have .NET 2 sp1, 3 sp1, 3.5, and two variants of 4.0 (client and extended beta). I looked in prerequisites and there doesnt seem to be an options for a non 3.5sp1.

Is there some way i can select the non sp1? or compile so i dont need sp1? (it crashes upon startup but i am willing to bet i forgot a resource file)

Answer 1

Perhaps create a new VM and install VS2008 on it without the Service Pack.

Answer 2

There doesnt seem to be a way to specify not using a service pack. But the problem is that version of 4.0 (possibly beta) does not come with a 3.5SP thus is incompatible. Looks like your out of luck if your app does indeed work correctly w/o the SP.
