Question

[MattRobillard]

I have a couple of addons that now no longer work with SP1 for ACT! 2011, to fix it I have to reference the new Act.Framework and other files as the location has changed from

C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Act.Framework\13.0.401.0__ebf6b2ff4d0a08aa\Act.Framework.dll

to

C:\Windows\assembly\GAC_MSIL\Act.Framework\13.1.111.0__ebf6b2ff4d0a08aa\Act.Framework.dll

is there a way to not have to do this everytime there is an update, like a reference that does not need an exact version number??

In general you shouldn't need to do this.  Any reference to the ACT.Framework assembly is forward compatible - meaning your assembly will accept the version of the reference you build against and any version higher (there's policy files that indicate this to .Net).  If you use method calls that are deprecated or changed from one version to another that's a different story, but for standard use you shouldn't need to recompile.
