Could not find type 'Xrm' in namespace Microsoft

I'm trying to create a custom workflow activity and have followed the steps here verbatim: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg334455

However the moment I try and compile I keep getting the following error:

The type or namespace name 'Xrm' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft'

I'm using the latest CRM 2015 SDK and have pulled the Microsoft.Xrm.Sdk and Microsoft.Sdk.Workflow assemblies from there. This is a class library project with .NET 4 as the target framework. Not the client profile. I've tried switching back and forth between .NET 4 and .NET 4.5, re-opened the solution and all the usual stuff.

Am I missing something here? Has anyone else encountered this with the latest SDK for CRM 2015?

Found the issue, the dlls in CRM 2015 target the .NET Framework v4.5.2. Make sure you have that installed. Compile any projects using the new SDK against this version.
