MS 2010 for .NET 3.5 Updating to .NET 4 libraries

[shansen]

Trying to upgrade another project from MS 2009 to MS 2010. This project is a WinForms project build on .NET 3.5 SP1. When I opened the project in Visual Studio 2010, Measurement Studio asked me to update the references. I clicked 'Update References', and it updated successfully with no problems. However, now when I'm trying to deploy this application, I have discovered that it updated all of the references to the 9.0.40.XXX dll's which are .NET 4.0 only. Obviously, I am getting errors when I try to run the application because it is built for .NET 3.5 SP1 but referencing .NET 4.0 dll's. 

I created a brand new WinForms .NET 3.5 solution this morning, and added a waveform graph to Form1. Then I went up to the menu bar under Measurement Studio and clicked 'Update Measurement Studio Project References.' This proceeded to replace all of the 9.0.35.XXX dll references with 9.0.40.XXX dll references.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hello -

I can verify what you are seeing.  This behavior was originally by design, but now that it is possible to target multiple frameworks from one version of Visual Studio, we have decided it is incorrect behavior.  We will be changing the way references are updated in the next service release. 

I'm sorry for any inconvenience -
