How to select .NET 4.5.2 as a target framework in Visual Studio

People also ask

How do I select a .NET framework?

Select Start > Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features. Select Turn Windows features on or off. If not already installed, select Microsoft . NET Framework and click OK.


You need to install the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 Developer Pack

This contains the following components (emphasis added by me):

  • .NET Framework 4.5.2

  • .NET Framework 4.5.2 Multi-Targeting Pack: Contains the reference assemblies needed to build apps that target the .NET Framework 4.5.2

  • .NET Framework 4.5.2 Language Packs

  • .NET Framework 4.5.2 Multi-Targeting Pack Language Packs: Contains the IntelliSense files to display help while building apps that target the .NET Framework 4.5.2 through Visual Studio and third party IDEs.


I had the same problem. The point was that I have installed DevPack only for my language.

NDP462-DevPack-KB3151934-RUS.exe

as the result the appropriate folder here

C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework

contained only one folder "ru", while the folder 4.6.1 was full of files.

In the end, installing

NDP462-DevPack-KB3151934-ENU.exe

solved the problem.
