.NET 3.0 registers wrong path

I just did a clean install of .net 3.0

It installs the assemblies to:

C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0

However, when you open an existing project, you will get an error that it can't find the assemblies at path:

C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\WinFx\v3.0

Apparently the installer either

a) installs the assemblies in the wrong location

b) registers the wrong path in the GAC

I duplicated all the assemblies in teh WinFx path to move forward, but something is wrong with the installer.

Sounds like you have the wrong version of the visual studio extensions. They are two seperate installs and you need to make sure you're using the matching ones.

Hmm, that is interesting.

I downloaded both the .net 3.0 and the VS addins from the same MSDN page:

http://wf.netfx3.com/blogs/news_and_announcements/archive/2006/06/23/June-CTP-Available_2C00_-RC-Build-of-WF.aspx

So it they are the wrong version, the web page is broken.

Just noticed that you said the problem occurs when you open existing projects. Previous versions of the framework did install to the WinFx folder (prior to the rename to .NET 3.0). So that is the expected behavoir since those projects reference a dll location which has changed.
