Advanced HMI and Visual Studio

[Jaguar]

I have few Advanced HMI projects in a computer. Recently I got a new computer.  I copied the projects to my new computer and downloaded visual studio 2017 community version. I selected .net desktop application. Now I am unable to open any project. I get following message (screen shot). Would anyone here help me where I am going wrong?

Regards,

It looks like it did not load the .NET desktop workload. I think in Solution Explorer you can right click the project and select load framework. Any reason you using 2017 instead of 2019?

Thanks Archie for your response! It worked.

I downloaded 2017 not 2019, as 2017 was there in my previous computer.

Does this mean that 2019 is the preferred version? 

Thank you.

Yes, VS 2019 Community is the recommended version

I am currently using VS 2022. I haven't used it enough to know if there are any known quirks about it yest.
