Even Microsoft publishes stuff that demands > a particular release of the .NET Framework. :-( .NET Framework is design to allow multiple versions of the Framework to run side-by-side. Having a .NET application that requires a particular version isn't what it's designed to solve. Newer applications will require the functionality of newer versions of the framework. And newer versions may remove deprecated features, thus requiring an older version for older apps.
