Setup Requires .NET Framework Version 3.5

I have a C# Winforms application I'm looking to deploy on an XP Laptop with the .NET Framework 1.1 installed.

The solution contains three projects, all with a target framework of .NET Framework 2.0

The setup project has the preqrequisite of .NET Framework 2.0 checked. No other prerequisites are checked.

Why, when I try to run the setup on the laptop, does it require me to install the .NET Framework 3.5 SP1?

(FYI I am developing in VS2008 on a machine with .NET Framework 3.5 SP1)

Thanks in advance,

Jim
