Visual Studio Project Properties: changing target framework version

votes

I can develop many things inside Visual Studio 2010. But unfortunately my clients can't even install .NET Framework 3.5 on their pc/laptop. They can only install .NET Framework 4.0 and above.

My project was originally built using .NET Framework 3.5. Now I need to change the target framework version but I can't find an option to do this:

How can I make my project work with .NET Framework 4.0 or greater?

The .NET Framework is backwards compatible anyways. So you can run the 3.5 application on frameworks 3.5 and above. You can't run a 4.5 application on framework 4.0 and so on though. Check here: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff602939%28v=vs.110%29.aspx – Jens
but what i found is that, this client is unable to run my app that was developed under .net 3.5 that's strange for sure! @Jens, the appeared warning i got is 0xc0000007b – gumuruh
Ok, let's just hope it works after changing your application to 4.0. But there might be something wrong with the client's installation. – Jens
I guess so. It's very strange that his computer is unable to accept any .net 3.5 framework installation at all (web / offline) installation. I wonder. huhu,.... – gumuruh
