ado.net entity framework can only be installed on Framework 3.5 Beta 2

(Update: I've been able to solve the issue via a dirty hack...)

Unfortunately the current version of the ADO.NET Entity Framework cannot be installed with the RTM version of Visual Studio 2008 released to MSDN subscribers by Microsoft yesterday. The installer gives you an "ADO.NET Entity Framework can only be installed if Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Beta2 is installed." error message. Obviously VS 2008 RTM ships with the RTM version of the .NET 3.5 Framework.

I've sent a quick message to ScottGu - maybe he's already got an answer for us.

Ralf: you should see an update to the Entity Framework runtime and tools in early December that will work with .NET Fx 3.5 RTM and Visual Studio 2008 RTM. There will be lots of new features, too. Keep watching the ADO.NET team blog (blogs.msdn.com/data) and the ADO.NET pre-release forum on forums.microsoft.com/msdn.
