This is a problem when using .NET Framework with .csproj in SDK-style.

If you omit ``, the target platform will be displayed as "x86" in the GUI project settings, but it will be executed in 64bit.

I think "AnyCPU" is the correct.

```xml


Exe

```

- Windows 10 64bit
- Visual Studio Community 2019 Version 16.4.4
