Installing Visual Studio 2012 in Windows 8

I have recently installed Windows 8 Preview. I would like to install Visual studio 2012. The problem is VS 2012 is looking for .Net 4.5.x. When I install .Net 4.5.x, it tells me that it is already part of the operating system. Any workarounds ?

The latest Visual Studio RTM versions won't install on Windows 8 Release Preview.\nYou can try one of RC versions:\n\nMicrosoft Visual Studio Ultimate 2012 RC\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29917\n\nMicrosoft Visual Studio Express 2012 RC for Windows 8\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29915",

To solve the issue download Visual Studio 2012 though Microsoft Dream Spark, rather than any other source i had the same issue on two separate machines.... this fixed both. \n\nLink to Dream Spark: https://www.dreamspark.com/Product/Product.aspx?productid=44\n\nI hope this helps everyone.\n\nThanks Andrew.",
