Can't choose .NET 4.7

I am trying to start a new project using .NET 4.7. I have Creators Update installed as well as the latest version of Visual Studio 2017. When I start a project and device to choose a .NET version, the latest .NET framework version I have is 4.6.2. When I go to download a new .NET framework, it only lists 4.6.2 as the latest via MS that you can download. It says that .NET 4.7 is included in VS 2017. What am I missing?

You need to go to Visual Studio Installer and install an optional component ".NET Framework 4.7 Development Tools".

The .NET Framework 4.7 was released as part of Windows 10 Creators. For other versions of Windows, you have to install the .NET Framework 4.7.

Offline Installer of .NET Framework 4.7 Developer pack

So I could not find the .Net Framework 4.7.2 Developer tool even in Visual Studio Installer. However you can download & run them from here:
