Error when starting Photon Application

Hi,

I'm seeing the following log when my application crashes on start up:

Exception:
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Core, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e, Retargetable=Yes' or one of its dependencies. The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)

I looked at the project and it is my Photon dlls referencing .NET 2.0.5 (SocketServer, RuntimeInterfaces, ExitGamesLibs, log4net, etc).

I don't quite understand this issue, could you advise me how to fix it?

Which .NET versions do you have installed on your machine? Photon requires .NET Framework 3.5, at least.
