I'm trying to open a solution file in visual studio 2022. When I'm opening the solution, I'm getting incompatible and unloaded on two of its projects.

my solution explorer

As far as I can tell, what I'm experiencing is a .NET framework incompatibility version issue.

I found that the target framework is 4.5. I downloaded .NET 4.5. When I tried to install it, I got this message. I'm totally confused now whether it's a version issue or something else.
What do you think?

.NET Framework 4.5 is no longer supported (support ended 26th April 2022) so it's no surprise your struggling to open it in VS2022. As mentioned in one of the comments (by @Kristin), this question should provide some answers.
