Can't choose .NET 4.7
Visual Studio-2017.Net 4.7Visual Studio-2017 Problem Overview
I am trying to start a new project using .NET 4.7. I have Creators Update installed as well as the latest version of Visual Studio 2017. When I start a project and device to choose a .NET version, the latest .NET framework version I have is 4.6.2. When I go to download a new .NET framework, it only lists 4.6.2 as the latest via MS that you can download. It says that .NET 4.7 is included in VS 2017. What am I missing?

For anyone late to the party here; In Visual Studio 2019, I had this problem by using a .Net Core template to create my project.
> For non-.NET Framework project templates, for example .NET Core templates, the Framework drop-down list doesn't appear.
Make sure you pick a .Net Framework template when creating a project/solution :)
