.NET Framework 3.5 replacement for AJAX v1.0

PPS M&A requires AJAX v1.0 installed.  Well, recently Microsoft released the .NET Framework 3.5 which includes the AJAX.   Well, on a couple of my server rebuilds using .NET Framework 3.5, SharePoint runs just fine. 

But, when I install PPS M&A, it crashes the SharePoint page on startup.   When I uninstalled .NET 3.5 and used the AJAX v1.0 installs, PPS and SPS fired right up.

 You have been warned...

ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 and 3.5 should run side-by-side.  It's possible that the PerformancePoint install is not checking for a specific version of ASP.NET AJAX... did you have ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 installed at the time?  If not, you should just be able to install it and things should start working (without uninstalling the 3.5 framework).

The other possibility is that your SharePoint site was configured to run against the 3.5 framework.  If this is the case, you would need to add an assemblyBinding redirect to SharePoint's web.config to force PerformancePoint to use the new version of ASP.NET AJAX.  I'm having trouble getting the comment engine to accept the XML snippet here, so see step 3 at the following URL:

I haven't had a chance to try this out, yet, so if anyone runs into any problems with the above steps, please comment here, and I'll try and help troubleshoot.
