How do I get the Visual Studio 2017 score for .NET Framework 4.6.2 recognition?
1) I did a clean install of Visual Studio 2017 Professional Evaluation on a new Dell laptop. 2) I tried to import and open a design solution that was running on a different computer with a full copy of Visual Studio 2015 Professional. Both computers are running Windows 10 Professional and are completely up to date. 3) Received an error from Visual Studio while importing a solution that said I couldn't load the project unless I changed the target of the .NET framework from 4.6.2 to .NET 4.6.1. because 4.6.2 was not found on my machine. 4) Checked that 4.6.2 is in the registry 5) Tried to download a fresh install of 4.6.2 but it won't install since it also found 4.6.2 on the machine. 6) I also tried loading the project as 4.6.1 and then going through properties to change the target to 4.6.2 but had the same results.
Any suggestions as to how I can get Visual Studio 2017 to recognize 4.6.2 or uninstall 4.6.2 and reinstall?

Runtime version and target versions are different things. You need to run Visual Studio 2017 setup
and select .net 4.6.2 SDK/Targeting pack
in the section Individual Components
:
They are not selected by default in VS2017. You have to do this for .net 4.7, also it is not installed by default either.

You need to download and install the .NetFramework 4.6.2 developer package. ( https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53321 )
