Visual Studio (2010 & 11) keep referencing the .net 4 assemblies, even after .net 4.5 is installed

.Net 4.5 installs to the directory

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

Visual Studio 2010 installs .Net 4.0 to the directory

C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0

Even if .Net 4.5 is installed prior to VS 2010. Now, no matter what I do, both VS 2010 and VS 11 keep referencing the assemblies in

C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework\v4.0

Even if I remove the assembly from the project, and add the assembly by browsing to the 4.5 directory

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

How do I get Visual Studio to reference the .Net assemblies located here

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319 ??

Thanks

You have to update the target framework version and choose .Net 4.5 in project properties:
