I have installed VS2013 but still have VS2012. In VS2013 I cannot generate a database from a model in Entity Framework. I get the following error message:

enter image description here

The files in the error message do exist! Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?

  • Seems similar to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19664833/metadata-file-not-found-data-entity-model. Can you tell me what your system drive is? (I am trying to figure out how to reproduce this...) – Pawel Nov 05 '13 at 18:03

Your tip about checking the drive made me see what I should have seen before. The environment variable VS120COMNTOOLS had the wrong drive letter. Can't remember, but I initially installed VS2013 on another drive and then changed it back to C. Anyway setting it correctly fixed the problem. /Peter

  • Glad you were able to resolve this. A colleague on our team tried to repro this but was not able to which is inline with your response. – Pawel Nov 06 '13 at 19:29

I believe VS is not updating the VS120COMNTOOLS variable correctly when reinstalling VS to a different drive. See this SO thread for an extended answer.
