Cannot find .net Framework 4.0 or .net Framework 4.5 in Visual Studio 2010

Question

I have Visual Studio 2010 installed. But I try to open a project in it, I cannot find .net Framework 4.0 or .net Framework 4.5 in the target framework. I have installed both. still I cannot find it. What am I suppose to do? Uninstalling Visual Studio is not an option for me.

Answer 1

Mayby you can install them using the tool menu in your visual studio. Tools>extentions and update. then search there for the 4.0 or 4.5 framwork versions

my bad the saluting is mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12390175/… it seems to be a bit more difecult in vs2010

Answer 2

Have you tried: "installing VS for Windows (not desktop!) u3"

I think with this your folder may appear and your original VS can start use them aswell as the new one
