how to change install package to run under .NET 2.0 instead of 1.1

visual studio .net general:

My applicaton and its installation package was created under Visual Studio
2003 for .NET 1.1. Unfortunately, my customer upgraded all their w/s to .NET
2.0. Now, when we try to run the .msi file, this is the error message I see:

"This setup requires the .NET Framework version 1.1.4322. Please install
the .NET Framework and run this setup again. ...."

I've tried to edited the setup.ini file to set SupportedRuntimes and the
Property VSDSuppported Runtimes (using orca) in the msi file to 2.0.50727.
Well, no luck.

My understanding from what I read is that appl that runs under 1.1 should
have no problem to run under 2.0. So what should I do to make this
installation package run under .NET 2.0 without recompile the with Visual
Studio 2005?

All help is much appreciate.

I saw your post on several message boards. I'm not sure if you found your
solution, but I came across the same problem and found a fix. Figured I'd
post a fix so others could find it. See the URL below for a registry hack
that forces applications to run on the 2.0 CLR.
