So I've installed the official .NET Core 2.0 SDK and when I'm in Visual Studio i get heaps of errors and the target framework is not listed :(

It's like .NET Core 2.0 isn't installed.

enter image description here

and here's the .csproj file:

<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">

  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp2.0</TargetFramework>
  </PropertyGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <Folder Include="wwwroot\" />
  </ItemGroup>

  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.All" Version="2.0.0" />
  </ItemGroup>

</Project>

also, dotnet --version returns 2.0.0

so .. is there some install tooling I'm missing?

EDIT/UPDATE:

Here's my system info from VS:

Please make sure you use Visual Studio 2017 Update 3 (version 15.3, 26730.01): Help -> About Microsoft Visual Studio
