The same workaround (ngen uninstall ) works for Blend Preview for Silverlight 5, i.e.
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen uninstall "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Expression\Blend Preview for Silverlight 5\Microsoft.Expression.Framework.dll
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen uninstall "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Expression\Blend Preview for Silverlight 5\Microsoft.Expression.Blend.dll
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen uninstall "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Expression\Blend Preview for Silverlight 5\Microsoft.Expression.Project.dll
and,when applicable,
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen uninstall "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Expression\Blend Preview for Silverlight 5\Microsoft.Expression.WindowsPhone.dll

It's worked. I had to run the workaround.

This fix worked for me. Thanks to both of you for taking the time.

Just adding the something we all know; but forget. Run cmd as administrator.

That fixed it, thanks!

There is a compatibility problem with .Net 4.5 installed as part of the Developer Preview and Blend 4. This issue was fixed, but too late to make the preview build.

The workaround is to run:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen uninstall "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Expression\Blend 4\Microsoft.Expression.Framework.dll"
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen uninstall "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Expression\Blend 4\Microsoft.Expression.Blend.dll"
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen uninstall "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Expression\Blend 4\Microsoft.Expression.Project.dll"

If "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Expression\Blend 4\Microsoft.Expression.WindowsPhone.dll" is present (for scenarios like Blend V4 SP1 or future releases), please also run:
%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ngen uninstall "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft Expression\Blend 4\Microsoft.Expression.WindowsPhone.dll"
