title: Installing Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate on Windows 8
body: <p>While trying to install the visual studio 2012 ultimate trial on Windows 8 Release Preview I got the following error message</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The .Net Framework installed on this machine does not meet the minimum
    required version: 4.5.50709.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>So I tried installing the required .net framework version, but that gave me the following error</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 is already a part of this operating
    system.  You do not need to install the .NET Framework 4.5
    redistributable.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I am running the windows 8 release preview on a 32-bit Intel Core2Duo system, with Visual Studio Express already installed.</p>
  
  <p>Can somebody please help if you have any guesses at all. This "chasing-your-tail" problem is frustrating.</p>
