How to install XCode 4.5GM on top of the app store xcode 4.4.1?

Question

I was searching for the answer to this question here but couldn't find anything. I had an issue before with GM version of xcode and would like to find out what is the procedure to do this. I have XCode 4.4.1 install from the app store and i would like to install 4.5 GM. Is the only way to have both installed on the machine or its possible to upgrade? Does it make sense to delete 4.4.1 and install GM version or just wait a week and xcode will get updated automatically.

I just don't want to install this one and then have to reinstall when the app store version comes out because then upgrades will be installed through the app store.

Thanks in advance!

You can install the AppStore version (4.4.1) and the beta version (4.5) side by side without any problems. Just download the beta from the developer portal and it will install as "Xcode45-GM".
