How do I install the iOS 4.3 Simulator on Xcode 4.5?

I have Xcode 4.5 installed via the App Store, and it has iOS 5.1 and 6.0 support, but not iOS 4.3. Nor is it available for download in the "Downloads" tab of Preferences. I tried grabbing it from another computer and putting it on this one, as described by Dominik Porada, but alas that did not work. Maybe there are other files I need? How do I get the iOS 4.3 SDK back?

I actually did get 4.3 to appear in the Xcode 4.3 menu just by copying the iPhoneSimulator4.3.sdk file to the Xcode.app package, as described by Dominik Porada. I think I just had to restart Xcode again, and there it was!

But it doesn't work. As pointed out in the answers to this question, iOS 4.3 is not supported on Mountain Lion. Might work fine for Lion, though.
