I'm new to EF and MVC3. I'm running through the following MVC3 SQL Migration tutorial (link below) and when I run the following command from a cmd window with VS2010 I get the following error:

update-database

Command "update" is not valid

What am I missing here? Thx!

You need to execute it from package manager console not from the command prompt.In VS 2010 go to

View -> Other Windows -> package manager console

and try executing the command.

And also you need to use correct version of entity framework (Entity Framework 4.1 - Update 1). Try installing this http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=26825
