That does not work, as you can see in his write-up, he already did that. I have the same bug. I’ve uninstalled and re-installed the developer pack and the version still does not appear in visual studio or in the folder mentioned above.

I had VS2010 Pro installed, then installed VS2015 community, then later uninstalled community, and I got what you describe.

Mine was missing FrameworkList.xml in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v4.0\RedistList.

On my VS2015 installation, I can only see v3.0 and v3.5 in folder C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.

However, my apps can target v4 / 4.5 / 4.5.1 / 4.5.2 etc.

My problem is that with my app that is targeting 4.5.1, the referenced assemblies are all 4.0 (eg System.ServiceModel) and I can’t reference 4.5 assemblies that have new classes that I need
