Working on some old projects targeting .NET Framework 4.0. I used VS 2022 to open the solution and was told to install 4.0 targeting pack.
I can't find the download link on the dotnet website, nor the installation option in Visual Studio Installer.
Anyway to install it?
(Of course I know it's no longer supported. But I cannot just make it target a newer version, because my boss does not let me do that.)
