We are currently focused on the .NET framework 4.0.  What steps must be taken in order to be able to run projects targeted at higher .NET frameworks?

I would believe the new server should have the .Net 4.5 framework installed along with ASP.NET and the IIS (7or8) to support it if it is going to be a webserver.

Hi ShowFreeFlying,

IIS 8.0 on Windows Server 2012 runs ASP.NET applications on all .NET Framework versions supported on Windows Server 2012. This means ASP.NET applications can run on IIS 8.0 using either .NET Framework 3.5, or .NET Framework 4.5. IIS 8.0 hosts versions of the .NET Framework in different application pools, thus allowing multiple ASP.NET applications with different .NET Framework versions to run simultaneously on Windows Server 2012.
