Visual studio checks this folder for .net assembly references 

C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\xxx

If that folder is missing 4.0 for you, installing a new version of visual studio may create that folder for you. You could also try copying that folder from a different machine.

If that doesn't work, try the answers suggested here:
