Visual Studio 2013: "No framework version is selected, you must select one before creating a project."

Question

I've recently installed Visual Studio 2013 on my laptop (Windows 8.1) and I've ran into trouble when trying to create a project.

I'm prompted to select a framework version, but the list of frameworks is empty. See below picture.

As I've read on msdn, the .NET framework version 4.5 should be included in Visual Studio 2013, but as you can see, it's not in my list of frameworks.

I've tried to install version 4.5.3 manually but the problem persists.

How do I solve this?

Answer 1

Uninstall Visual Studio then re install it from Microsoft website
