Well, in this case you have two choices:

1. Uninstall the ConfigMgr 2007 console then install the 2012 one.

2. Otherwise, if you want to keep both consoles you have to go to the ConfigMgr 2012 media under \SMSSETUP\BIN\I386 and run consolesetup.exe or AdminConsole.msi

Don’t forget to enter the FQDN of the ConfigMgr 2012 box.
