I'm following the instructions to set up local development on Windows. When I open QuantConnect.Lean.sln, I get a bunch of errors about the project target framework not being installed. It seems that all the projects are targeting ".NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2". I'm given three options:
- Change the target to .NET Framework 4.6.1. You can change back to ".NET Framework,Version=v4.6.2" at a later time.
- Download the targeting pack for ".NET Framework,Version=v4.6.2". The project will not change.
- Do not load this project.

Mike Lin There are a couple of things here and seems to be the normal behavior for VS. Go ahead and let VS install the different .NET frameworks. It's always better to use the newest and better versions of .NET as Microsoft has a great history of ensuring backwards compatibility.
Each project in the solution will specify a target framework, but you probably don't need to change anything in the code.
