Hello to the entire community, Peter, Andy, and all the contributors to this wonderful project.

I've been using Majorsilence successfully for years in my freeware program, with the latest version of the package, which I think was 4.8 or so... it's a WinForm application.

Today I'd like to update everything to a more recent version, but when I try to download the Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlCreator, Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlEngine, Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlCri, and Majorsilence.Reporting.RdlViewer packages from NuGet, I get the error that my 4.8 target on the .Net Framework doesn't have any assemblies pointing to that framework.

I'm developing for WinForm, and I'd like to understand how I can update and which package to download in my case, because I'm completely lost for it... the instructions on your wiki suggest using NuGet, but then I get an error.
There's also no guidance on what to reference for other files like the old DataProviders.dll, RdlEngineConfig.xml, and others I'm used to...

So basically, after explaining how to update to the latest version I can use, can you also provide me with a precise list of which files to include in the output and reference?

I'd like to thank anyone who can help me, because majorsilence is an integral and fundamental part of my project, and I really want to use the most up-to-date version. For example, I saw that there's a new designer compared to the one I use, and I'd like to have it...
