Question

I just installed VS 2012. I created a new project to do Code First with. I then used Nuget to add EF5 to the project, as per these instructions:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/ee712906

I then verified it’s install:

Which shows that I have EF 5 installed. And indeed my App.config shows:

<section name="entityFramework" type="System.Data.Entity.Internal.ConfigFile.EntityFrameworkSection, EntityFramework, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" requirePermission="false" />

But if I look at the properties of the System.Data.Entity assembly reference by my project it shows version 4.0.0.0!

What am I doing wrong here? This is driving me nuts.

You should be looking to EntityFramework.dll. System.Data is not the EntityFrakework assembly.
