This may be too old, but what worked for me was to convert the Web project to the new framework first.

I recently upgraded the target framework in the my web project's (Asp.NET web forms) properties from 4.8 to 4.8.1.
I searched the web.config for any "targetFramework" where it was referencing older versions and changed them to "4.8.1". Save. Recompile.

I solved the issue, my web application didn't have a web.config.I added a deafult web.config and then converted it.It worked fine.
