windows 7 - Visual Studio doesn't recognize .NET Framework 4.6.2 is installed

I've installed .NET Framework 4.6.2 via the web installer, and everything looked good. However, after I restarted and opened up Visual Studio, it reported that 4.6.2 was not installed:

I checked registry per MSDN and did find the expected entries under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v4\Full:

Additionally, under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\v4.0.30319\SKUs, there is an entry for 4.6.2, as well as others:

I also checked the installer's log file to see if there were any issues, but nothing stood out. Towards the bottom, I see:

MSI (s) (AC:E0) [10:06:03:829]: Note: 1: 1707 
MSI (s) (AC:E0) [10:06:03:829]: Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2 -- Installation completed successfully.

MSI (s) (AC:E0) [10:06:03:831]: Product: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2. Restart required. The installation or update for the product required a restart for all changes to take effect.  The restart was deferred to a later time.

This is a Windows 7 Pro machine running Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition, and I am not logged in as a system administrator. Does anyone know how to make VS recognize this framework version as a valid target?

You need to download and install the .NET Framework 4.6.2 Developer Pack, which includes the .NET 4.6.2 Targeting Pack, after doing so you will be able to target that specific version of the .NET Framework
