After installation when I create a new solution "C#/Mobile Apps/Blank App (Xamarin.Forms Portable)'
I get the following console error :
Could not install package 'Xamarin.Forms 1.3.1.6296'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile78', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
I've looked up for similar errors, and although I don't find any reference to the specific one I'm facing, I've seen some similar ones and I find that they refer to the profiles in the directory and similar :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETPortable\v4.5\Profile\Profile78\SupportedFrameworks
I don't seem to have any such .NETPortable .... directory nor in x86 or in the "Program Files" directory ... in the Framework directory I only see v3 and 3.5 .. and no reference to .NET 4.5 ...
any clues?
thanks for the help
