Nunit v2.2.8 for .NET 2.0 enables automated unit testing with VS.NET 2005.


After installing Nunit, go to the \bin folder of the install area (C:\Program Files\Nunit by default) and modify two files: nunit-gui.exe.config and nunit-console.exe.config.  These are text/XML files, and you should be able to edit them by right-clicking over the files and select "Open with...Notepad".  In each file:

1. Delete the HTML comments from around the startup section.
2. The versions in the startup section need to be adjusted exactly to reflect the versions on the machine as found in c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework (the latest versions of .NET must be listed first); in Penn labs, the list should read as follows:
   
     <startup>
             <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727" />
             <supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50215" />
             <supportedRuntime version="v1.1.4322" />
            <supportedRuntime version="v1.0.3705" />
            <requiredRuntime version="v1.0.3705" />
     </startup>
