Calling on all you VS 2008 experts!

Just started using VS2008. Created a windows service to deploy on my remotes
to automate some tasks. I created a solution and added a windows service
project using v2.0 of the framework. Once done I added a setup and deployment
project to the same solution using v2.0 of the framework. All of my remotes
already have 1.1 and 2.0 installed. I removed all prerequisite check marks as
I do not need a boot strapper. I build the project and it creates myservice.
msi. When I double click the msi file on a remote it said I must install .net
framework version 3.5. I do not want to have to deploy a 197mb file to all
remotes just to install this. How do I get around this. Both projects were
created with 2.0 selected and all prerequisites removed. for the time being I
created the solution using VS 2005 so I could get it deployed.
