I've looked at other older threads on this and none of the answers have helped me. I'm using Visual Studio 2015. I grabbed the latest sqlite 1.0.97.0 and Entity Framework 6.1.3 and the ADO Data source is not listed as a option for the ADO.NET Entity Data Model. I've tried a few different versions of both entity framework and sqlite. I also tried a few versions of the .net framework (4.5 and 4.5.1) - Curious if anyone has any suggestions or has seen this.

Thanks, I'd gone back to 2013 but I didn't really want to, this is good news, much appreciated. – Terco Jul 31 '15 at 20:18

1It seems that version 1.0.99 (downloaded from https://system.data.sqlite.org/downloads/1.0.99.0/sqlite-netFx46-setup-bundle-x86-2015-1.0.99.0.exe) makes the ADO .NET Entity Data Model option disappear in Visual Studio 2015. Is this a regression? – vbocan Jan 04 '16 at 13:25
Links to exact version getting outdated everytime. So instead of trying direct download link go here https://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/downloads.wiki (pretty messy) and find string below on page
This is the only setup package that is capable of installing the design-time components for Visual Studio 2015.
You need to download this one.
also, you can change VS version in your search string.

I had to install this: http://system.data.sqlite.org/downloads/1.0.101.0/sqlite-netFx46-setup-bundle-x86-2015-1.0.101.0.exe
Then i was able to select sqlite data source in VS 2015
Link to the last releases is here https://system.data.sqlite.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/downloads.wiki
