I have a visual studio 2008.
I have downloaded and installed a .NET 4.0 package.
But I still can’t create a .net 4.0 applications. VS 2008 shows it can only create 2.0, 3.0, 3.5 applications.

This is not possible. .NET 4.0 can only be used with Visual Studio 2010.
Visual Studio 2008 could target 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 because there were all based on the same runtime and language (3.0 and 3.5 were essentially additional libraries and updated compilers). 4.0 however is a different runtime.
