Cannot target .NET Framework 4.6.1

I try to load an existing project (not mine) that I get from TFS and I got an error telling me that I need .NET Framework 4.6.1 to load it.

So I downgraded it to 4.6, successfully load it, install .NET Framework 4.6.1 but I can't make my project target on 4.6.1.

I'm on Windows 7 and I use Visual Studio Community 2017.

Solution

  • You may need to install the developer pack. It looks like you may have just installed the runtime. You can find the .NET Framework 4.6.1 developer pack here.
