Hi gentlemen,
I have encountered a strange problem on my system. Very recently I installed .Net9 SDK on my system.
When I ran dotnet--list-sdks I get the following information:
s1

When I run dotnet--list-runtimes I get the following information:
s2

All seems fine. But the option .Net Framework 9.0 is not showing up in the list when I am trying to create a project through my Visual Studio 2022.
s3

I don't understand this. I'm at a total loss?!?? Can you tell me what else to install so that the option .Net 9.0 shows up?
Here's some more information about my Visual Studio:
Microsoft Visual Studio Professional 2022 (64-bit), Version 17.9.4

Please help me.
Thanks and belated XMas to all !

    If I update my version to 17.12.3 the .Net 9.0 will DEFINITELY appear in my list of options?

    Version 17.12 is the minimal Visual Studio version that supports Core 9 which is openly published in the official documentation.

    so you're saying, If I update my version to 17.12.3 the .Net 9.0 will DEFINITELY appear in my list of options?

    probably not DEFINITELY. Please keep in mind that there is no word such as "DEFINITELY" in this world unless I have tried upgrading in your environment and confirmed the issue is solved.

    See the following Microsoft document and try upgrading by yourself at your risk:

    .NET SDK, MSBuild, and Visual Studio versioning

    check which .NET SDK you have installed, may be your visual studio 2022 was installed as x86 and you are installing .NET SDK x64 or vice versa. I faced same problem earlier but after installing the correct version it fixed.
