Hi all,

 

I am having a problem, got issued a shiny new laptop with windows 10 (21H2). I have VS2022 installed and also VS2017 as there is still some projects on TFS (the TFS tooling seems to be better on VS2017)

 

I have some legacy solutions running .Net Framework 4.0 that I can’t open now.

If I try and open the solution in either VS2022 or VS2017 I get an error saying the “Target framework not supported”, giving me the option to

upgrade to 4.8,

download the 4.0 targeting pack or,

do not load the project

 

upgrading to 4.8 is not an option for me on these versions of the solutions.

 

When I try to download and install the 4.0 targeting pack it tells me that .Net Framework 4 is already part of the operating system.

 

Anybody know what it is looking for to target 4.0 framework? Anyone know how I can fool it into thinking that framework is there?

 

Thanks in advance

 

 

Cam Booth
