You'd need to downgrade your SL project from SL3 beta to SL2, and downgrade the SL tool from SL3 to SL2. This can be accomplished using a script provided.
Once you are done, you can upgrade the SL tool from SL2 to SL3.
The upgrade/downgrade takes a few minutes (basically uninstall/reinstall). I have done it before and I know the script works like a charm.

Silverlight version problem
May 20, 2009 09:04 AM | LINK
Hi all.
I have built a Silverlight that appears to require Silverlight version 3.0 to run on a users machine.
Is there any way I can 'roll back' my app so it only requires version 2.0 as users currently have to manually install Silverlight 3 beta to run it.
I have tried changing the 'MinimumVersion' property to 2.0 but this does not seem to help.
Any help would be grately appreciated.
