EntityFrameworks.dll file missing?

Question

I am totally new to the .NET world and been trying to build an MVC application following this tutorial, creating a database first then creating an MVC project on top of it and whenever I create the Models from the existing db I get a number of errors like this:

Error 1 Compiling transformation: Metadata file '%VS120COMNTOOLS%..\IDE\EntityFramework.dll' could not be found c:\users\j\desktop\visual studio 2013\Projects\ContosoSite\ContosoSite\Models\ContosoModel.tt

And this one also:

Error 2 Compiling transformation: Metadata file '%VS120COMNTOOLS%..\IDE\Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.dll' could not be found c:\users\j\desktop\visual studio 2013\Projects\ContosoSite\ContosoSite\Models\ContosoModel.tt

I have Entity Frameworks installed (version 6.1)

after hours of googling and searching for answers apparently there is a(or many) file(s) missing (dll?) in my Windows 8.1 OS.

Has anyone come up with a solution for this?

  1. Check your install location. I installed VS to the other location D:\ than default C:\ so I got the error.
  2. modify "Environment Variables" to your location, for me it means changing C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools\ to D:\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\Tools.
  3. DON'T Forget to add a \ to the end of word.

The project in the example uses the help of a library called "Entity Framework" to help with database queries. In Visual Studio these libraries are installed as Nuget Packages. For more info about Nugets, check this link

In order to install this library follow these steps in your Visual Studio IDE. Go to Tools>Package Manager Console>Package Manager Console. When the console opens up, type "Install-Package EntityFramework" and hit enter key. This will install Entity Framework Nuget Package to your IDE. Then you can use this library by adding a using reference.

Visual Studio 2010 and EF 4.1 DB both have a missing bin/EntityFramework.xml file. First

To answer the specific question first, you can easily regenerate this file by creating a new project of the same type (e.g. ASP.NET MVC3), then building that new project. EntityFramework.xml will appear in the new project's bin folder. You may then copy it over to your existing project....However, you can just 'Exclude from Project' the missing fil...

There's some confusion between EntityFramework.dll and System.Data.Entity.dll.

System.Data.Entity.dll version "4.2.0.0" (June CTP 2011) contains everything from EFv4.0 and EFv4.1 = both ObjectContext API and DbContext API + new features but it is probably the only version for a long time which will combine these two APIs in the same assembly. This CTP is dead. The new core features will be moved to .NET 4.5 and DbContext API ...
