I have just installed Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 and I am attempting to create a new project. This requires me to select a framework but when I open the framework drop down there are none available. After doing some research, I should have .Net 4.6 available (I checked, it is installed), but it is not. I have searched the internet and not found any answers and uninstalling then installing MVS and .Net did not help. Any advice/suggestions would be great.

One way to check the installed .NET Frameworks is to use regedit and look in the Windows registry.

After my installation of VS 2015 Community, I get the following:

.NET 4.6 is properly included.

The new .NET Framework 4.6 also appears under Windows Control Panel / Programs

enter image description here

Finally, you could also look for directory:

%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.6

  • Thanks for getting back to me, I was able to find 4.6 using regedit and programs but I was unable to find it by searching for the directory you provided. There isn't a folder called Framework.NETFramework in %ProgramFiles(x86)%\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft however there is a Framework folder but it does not have v4.6 in it. Still unable to use it in visual studio. – Ian E Jul 27 '15 at 13:41
