Vista - C# express in VS2008 SP1 won't let you target 2.0

afaict the only templates when selecting new project are for .NET 3.5.
So I select a Windows Form Application. Open project properties, change
it to target .NET 2.0. Tells me I have to save it first before I can change
it. Fine, save project. Go into properties, change it to target .NET 2.0.

I get 4 warnings about linq not being in system, when I build I get 2 errors.
Life would be a lot easier if you could just select .NET 2.0 Windows Form Application in the first place.

I've googled and I don't see how to get rid of the errors.
Can someone help out?

btw if you have a dropdown that lets you choose the target in the template
page then you probably aren't running the Express edition!

This is really annoying because I'm trying to crank out a small demo and not
everybody has .NET 3.5.

(btw I tried just down versioning to .NET 3.0 -- same complaints about linq.. no compile)

Well, so far all I've found is the Empty Project will let you downgrade to target .NET 2.0. Only thing is then I have to add a form, then add a code file, then paste in some generic Program.cs code to run Form1. Man this is really lame!!

In case anyone else runs into this, just create your default Windows Form Application, and save before doing any customization. Open Project Properties and change the drop down list to target 2.0 or 3.0. Then in the Solution Explorer references delete the linq references and the data extension references(at least for .NET 2.0 target). Now in Form1.cs and Program.cs delete the using statements that refer to linq or data. Save and it should stop giving warnings and errors. To confirm just build as a form that closes when you click the 'x' on the window frame. If that compiles you should be good to go. Once you know exactly what to change it only takes a minute.
