Metadata file not found - Data.Entity.Model

Question

Anyone having similar problem, while creating webservices?

Compiling transformation: Metadata file \'D:\\Program Files\\VS2013\\Common7\\Tools..\\ID

Answer 1

Based on

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Entity Framework Tools\Templates\Includes\EF6.Utility.CS.ttinclude

, the code generator is looking for the missing DLLs in the following locations:

<#@ assembly name="%VS120COMNTOOLS%..\IDE\EntityFramework.dll" #>
<#@ assembly name="%VS120COMNTOOLS%..\IDE\Microsoft.Data.Entity.Design.dll" #>

I discovered that the environment variable %VS120COMNTOOLS% is not compatible with the correct installation path of visual studio, so I changed it from Advanced system properties and it worked
