Silverlight 3.0 release
notes<http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=157632>from
http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/ says

*Silverlight 3 Tools and Silverlight 2 Compatibility*
Silverlight 2 projects cannot be created with the Silverlight 3 Tools for
Visual Studio 2008. To create Silveright 2 projects, uninstall the
Silverlight 3 runtime and the Silverlight 3 Tools from Add or Remove
Programs and re-install the Silverlight 2 Tools for Visual Studio 2008.

The SL3 Tools download
page<http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9442b0f2-7465-417a-88f3-5e7b5409e9dd&displaylang=en>doesn't
really say either way...

BUT it seems that I can't even view
3.0<http://conceptdev.blogspot.com/2009/07/silverlight-30-cant-upgrade-runtime.html>unless
I
*do *install the tools (over the 2.0 tools)

Catch-22?

Like I said in my blog, I don't want to be website forcing the 4Mb download
until I absolutely have to... so will probably be SL2 dev'ing for a little
while yet. Back to a VM for all 3.0 work & testing.

I can 'kinda' understand MS' approach... but then again kinda not... did I
miss something?
