Install .NET Framework 4.0 and 4.5 on VS 2022
This guide explains how to install .NET Framework 4.0 and 4.5 on VS 2022, as it doesn't support these versions out of the box.
Microsoft says these versions are outdated but many people still need them to maintain legacy apps.
Requirements:
- VS 2022
- 7-zip (I haven't tested WinRar)
Notes:
- When .NET 4.0 is mentioned, it means .NET Framework 4.0
- When it's mentioned to open as an archive or un-zip, use 7-zip
