Help! Can't edit forms (VB2008)

I am trying to make a VB2008 Express winforms project, and edit the form.
However, when i try to open the form, i get this error:

..NET Framework 2.0 update not found. The win32manifest will not be embedded.

It considers it a fatal error, and will not let me edit the form, either in
code or design view.

I have frameworks 1.1, 2.0, 3.5 installed, and all Windows Updates (sans
DreamScene).
All service packs and Vista update installed for VS2005.

Here are my system specs...
Vista Ultimate (32-bit)
VS 2005 Professional
VB 2008 Express (awaiting public release for Pro)
ThinkPad, 2GB RAM, 1.7 GHz Intel Centrino, 120GB

Do you have SP1 for .NET Framework 2.0 installed?

If you have .NET 3.5 you have 2.0 SP1
