From the page you downloaded from:

This targeting pack is not required for projects targeting .NET Framework 4.5 or .NET for Windows Store apps. It is only required for projects targeting Silverlight 5 and .NET Framework 4.0. Earlier platform releases are not supported.

Upgarde to Silverlight 5?

There is a newer version of the Async targeting package which supports Silverlight 4. Search for Microsoft.BCL.Async in NuGet, or run install-package Microsoft.Bcl.Async –prein the Package Manager Console. The package supports SL4, WP 7.1+ and Portable Libraries (yes!)

You will find a detailed description in the BCL team's blog Using async/await without .NET Framework 4.5
