Identifies the versions of the .NET Framework where this application can install and run.
Note
MageUI.exe does not support the compatibleFrameworks element when saving an application manifest that has already been signed with a certificate using MageUI.exe. Instead, you must use Mage.exe.

Example

targetVersion="4.0"
profile="Client"
supportedRuntime="4.0.30319" />
