How to install .NET 4.5?

Question

I downloaded and installed .NET 4.5 beta on Windows 7, but not sure where it is installed.

Check C: \ Windows \ Microsoft.NET \ Framework, cannot find folder for 4.5
Open VS 2010 and open the property for one of the projects in the solution, there is no 4.5 in the list for the Target Framework, only the .NET Framework 4.

How to make sure the installation is correct and how to use it?

.NET 4.5 is a replacement for .NET 4.0 - this means that the assemblies are in the v4.0.xxx folder.

You can also find assemblies in the referenced assemblies folder:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework.
