microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.setup
not working applications when Framework 3.5 SP1 installed

Greetings all,
I always had all Frameworks with SPs installed and updated and had no
problems with any applications, which are using them.
Recently I installed 3.5 with SP1 as part of Visual Basic Express 2008.
What I noticed that some programs stop working. The symptom is - when
invoking them either from shortcut or exe in base directory they won't
start. The cursor will change to hourglass for a short period of time . and
that's it. In Process Explorer (Sysinternals) applicatios flicker for a
second , go red and disappear.
Investigating the problem with Process Monitor (Sysinternals) I found that
those apps are using Framework 2.
What I tried was just uninstalling Framework 3.5. And those apps are back to
life.
Following installation of 3.5 kills them dead. Few examples of such
applications:
Cropper

CDburnerXP

When I found another previously working Application which requires Framework
2 - Hazard Shield antimalware
http://www.orbitech.org/hazards...
I did the following
1) Framework 3.5 SP1 uninstalled
2) sure my Framework 2.0 applications came alive as it was stated
above
3) I downloaded Framework 3.5 redistributable (important !!! no SP1)
4) 3.5 installed all framework 2 aware applications tested and working
!
5) sp1 (dotnetfx35setup) downloaded and installed ... here we go!...
the said apps. are dead
Thanks in advance for any ideas
My regards

Have you tried creating an app.config for those applications and adding
<requiredRuntime> / <supportedRuntime> elements to force the programs to use
..net 2? (

)?
In an ideal world, there would be no breaking changes, but big things, like
..net, are complicated.
