Using Dylan's instructions on what framework to use for VS2012 & VS2019, I looked up my installed framework. I only have 4.8. I have already downloaded & tried to install 4.5.2. The system wouldn't let me because I have 4.8 installed. Working in VB2012 compiler, I reset the Target Framework for my smallest program to 4.5.2. The program needed mscorlib from 4.5.2, but I didn't have that installed. mscorlib is in the reference list, but it said I needed the one for 4.5.2. How can I set the framework so I can get the mscorlib? 4.8 is not in the framework list. Also, do I need or want the Development packs for 4.8?

Opening it with VB2012 compiler without CHANGING ANYTHING IN THE PROGRAM, i STILL GET: Could not resolve mscorlib for target framework '.NETFramework,Version=v2.0'. This can happen if the target framework is not installed or if the framework moniker is incorrectly formatted. framework 2.0 IS INSTALLED, says the registry.
