I know its a bit late to answer but I use S/O as a personal reference and I ran into this problem myself recently so I would like to offer a solution that worked for me.

This is happening simply because you have 2 versions of EF installed. Simply go to the nugget package manager and uninstall the version you don't want (i.e. if you have 5 and 6 of EF, you might want to uninstall EF5). When complete a restart might be required but all should work after.
