.net 4.0 - dotnet Framework 4 missing from visual studio 2010

Question

I just installed visual studio 2010 but when i create a new project Framework 4 does not appear in the options for target framework. I know framework 4 installed correctly because the new app pools set to v4 were created in IIS. For some reason it's just not showing up in visual studio. I tried repairing dotnet 4 and reinstalling visual studio but still no luck. Anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?

Answer 1

First of all you shoul use the .NET Framework Setup Verification Tool to check the .NET 4 have been properly installed.

I also recommend you to check the both products language, sometimes it could be the problem.

If everything is ok, i guess you have registry problem, so you would have to check the installation keys or use .NET uninstall tools.
