Get a warning of target version of .NET framework in project does not match .NET framework in launch condition

Visual Studio 2019 Pro. Solution has many projects.

When I try to build solution, I get the warning:

WARNING: The target version of the .NET Framework in the project does not match the .NET Framework launch condition version '.NET Framework 4.6.1'. Update the version of the .NET Framework launch condition to match the target version of the.NET Framework in the Advanced Compile Options Dialog Box (VB) or the Application Page (C#, F#).

I checked the projects and the .NET framework is 4.5.2. I checked the launch condition of the setup project and .NET framework is 4.5.2.

How do I eliminate this warning?

Thanks.

    Hi @Darryl Hoar ,

    Be sure to also check the Prerequisite for the setup project property to make sure it also has Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.2 selected.

    After you've checked that the project goal framework matches the Prerequisite and startup conditions, if the warning persists, try cleaning the solution and then rebuilding it.

    Best Regards.
