My laptop which has only had Visual Studio 2022 installed and has no history of any other versions being installed will not load projects targeting .NET Framework 4.5. It suggests a download, but no suitable files are available from the Microsoft download pages any more.
Thomas Levesque's instructions for a fix seem dangerous, but after several futile experiments I found that his steps work:
Download the Nuget package Microsoft.NETFramework.ReferenceAssemblies.net45
Rename the following folder (to keep a backup) and replace it with the v4.5 folder unzipped from the NuGet package.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5
Thereafter VS2022 can open, build and run 4.5 projects. You'll need suitable account permission to rename and replace the folders.
