Visual Studio 2010 not recognizing .NET framework 4.0.3

When I try to open a solution I'm getting this message

The C# project "X" is targeting ".NETFramework, Version=v4.03", which is not installed on this machine

I installed the upgrade from here but that didn't fix the problem. I restarted the machine just in case but no luck

Does anyone know what's missed?

This is resolved, I needed to install Multi-Targeting Pack for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0.3 (KB2600213))

You need to install the .NET Framework 4.0 SDK, which can be found here.

What you installed is the .NET 4.0 runtime, required for running .NET 4.0 applications as a client.

Try confirming what versions you have installed on your machine, i.e. go to

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework

or the following on a 64bit machine:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64

do the underlying folders here in include v4.0.30319 (or similar)?

Now what does the VS project contain as its target framework:

<TargetFrameworkVersion>v4.0</TargetFrameworkVersion>
