Installing Entity Framework

Question

I'm currently using Entity Framework at my job, but I've recently try to get it on my personal computer but I still didn't find a way to get it. Sure, I've searched on google but not really find any exe and not any thread that explain that.

Thanks to help me out!

** EDIT **

I've now access to System.Data.Entity. But I've not the "Entity Data Model" ... how can I get this tools !!

what development environment do you have at home?? As far as I know, the .NET 3.5 SP1 and thus the Entity Framework can only be installed in Visual Studio 2008, so if you have VS2005 at home, you're out of luck — marc_s

This might be a bit obvious but have you installed .NET Framework 3.5 service pack 1?

If I fallow this link : thoughtscroll.wordpress.com/2009/02/17/…, two of the links arn't workin'. And if I try to run the "EFToolsSetupX86.exe", it says that it can't be install because I need to instal one of the "beta" applications listed.

You can check if the framework installed properly by looking in your registry. Browse to this key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP\v3.5\ It's value should be 3.5.30729.01 if it's correctly installed.

It's exactly this update... Do I need a specific "version" ... I mean i've a "Team system"

Do not try and install the EF separately. That predates 3.5 SP1, and you don't need it. Just install 3.5 SP 1 (1Along with the corresponding VS 2008) by itself.

Running programs using the Entity Framework requires only the .NET Framework 3.5 with SP1, as stated by Astrofaes.

Writing EF programs requires Visual Studio 2008 (I also use a Team edition, should work with all editions) with SP1. From the comments above I believe you lack the SP1 (this SP actually adds 3.5 libraries support to VS).

(this would have been a comment to the previous answer had I already the right to comment, sorry)
