Referring to this support article by Microsoft:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6 Targeting Pack and Language Packs for Windows

In short you need three components:

1. The .Net 4.6 Framework itself of course
2. The .NET Framework 4.6 Targeting Pack
   • language neutral reference assemblies to compile against
   • download file name like “NDP46-TargetingPack-KB3045566.exe”
3. optional: The .NET Framework 4.6 Targeting Pack Language Packs
   • translated IntelliSense help files
   • download file name like “NDP46-TargetingPack-KB3045566-ENU.exe”
     (suffix -ENU for english, -DEU for german etc.)
