According to the following page https://www.appveyor.com/docs/windows-images-software/, the Visual Studio 2022 image should support .NET Framework 3.5. I am having issues building my project (which is a .NET library, that uses multi-targeting). The issue occurs when the build engine attempts to build for net20 and net35 TFMs.

I've raised the issue with StackOverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/74377338/unable-to-build-a-multi-targeting-net-library-for-net20-and-net35-after-switchi) but I did not receive a strict answer, just a comment suggesting net35 is out-of-support now.

Can you confirm that indeed there is no support for that framework, and if possible, at least update the documentation for VS2022 image to state .NET Framework 2.0/3.5 is no longer supported.

Thanks

    Well, It seems my issue has been resolved, and it had nothing to do with VS2022 image or its support for net20/net35, which is fine. I've provided an answer to the respective StackOverflow question (https://stackoverflow.com/a/75117538/795158) with details, but it boiled down to directly reference the appropriate `Microsoft.ReferenceAssemblies.netXX` package in each multi-targeting project.
