Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.0. You need .NET Framework 3.0 for the
Application Block Software Factory and the WCF adapters for the Validation
Application Block and Exception Handling Application Block
So, yes, you need 3.0 for that.

The failing project is a Test project so it looks like your installed edition of Visual Studio doesn't include Test support. You need to run an edition that includes this.

The first answer I gave you was the right answer to your question; if you have any other questions please post a new thread, but don't unmark the post as not answered as this was not the case.

Also, please note this is not the right forum where to post EntLib related questios, you should be using the EntLib specific forums on CodePlex instead.

thanks,
