Expression Blend Application Prerequisties

[kl422]

Is there a KB article or such that specifies the prerequisites to run an
application built with Blend 2? I haven't found any information on this. Are
these prerequisites the same for building applications on/for vista x64? I
currently have tried with all versions of .net from 1.0 sp3 to 3.5 sp1 beta
installed, platform sdk 6000 and server 2008 sdk and still the application
crashes w/ a XmlParserException when creating a control derived from the
System.Windows.Forms.Control or sometimes other classes defined in the
applications c# code itself ( the xaml parsing succeeds but there are
runtime invocation errors ). I've been able to get a working build on XP
32bit which runs on other XP 32bit systems but crashes with the same error on
Vista x64. I will be testing w/ Vista 32 soon, but it would be nice to know
if there are any known issues, as I haven't yet found any mention of such
anywhere on msdn.

( i aslo tried w/ just 3.5 prior to trying 3.5 sp1 beta which i now have
found this note about it : Blend Incompatible with Beta .NET Framework 3.5
Service Pack 1

If you are currently running Expression Blend or Blend 2, please do not
install the .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 BETA; please wait for the final
release of the .NET Service Pack that will be compatible with all versions of
Expression Blend.)

Have you tried using Blend 2.5 fix for .NET Fx SP1?
