I've been trying to begin development with .Net 7.0 in Visual Studio 17.4.3 (the latest version) and the option .NET 7.0 is not in the framework selection in the IDE.
I've installed the .NET 7.0.101 SDK and verified it from the command line.

I've verified that .NET 7.0 is checked in the VS installer as well. I've reinstalled VS2022 completely a couple of times over the last few days attempting to resolve the issue, but alas, cannot find one. Still stuck with .NET 6.0 and cannot find a solution to this anywhere and have tried all the recommendations on Microsoft's website to the best of my ability.
I believe this may be due to VS2022 being installed on Drive D:\ and it cannot find this framework (though ALL other frameworks display correctly!) and MS introduced a path bug, but I have no idea where to look or where to start (and don't wish to destroy my configurations for all my other, older projects).
Any ideas on how to workaround this bug?
