OK then, so you're safe. I know that their are various express releases and
some of them are limited in what they support.

I haven't loaded and tested that code yet. But the net45 test program is
just a set of tests, not NUnit. It is of course built for .NET 4.5. Simone
is working on making sure it will run under NUnit so it may not yet be
complete. Note that some code in nunit.core.tests is under the control
of #if statements, which keep it from being compiled when not wanted.
