    Posted: 29-Aug-2013 at 8:01pm
Running VS 2012 on Windows 7 64 bit and I received this error when trying to update model from database:

Error 164 Compiling transformation: Metadata file 'IdeaBlade.VisualStudio.OM.CodeGeneratorV6.11.0.dll' could not be found.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

This assembly was renamed in the 6.1.15 release.  The easiest way to fix the problem is to delete the *.edmx.tt file and resave the EDMX.  This will recreate the .tt file with the correct assembly names.  More info here - http://drc.ideablade.com/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/6115-release-notes#HBreakingchanges.

Thanks for your reply but I am still having issues with this.
We are on 6.11.0 so I don't see how the breaking change for 6.15.0 would affect us.

I have deleted the files and regenerated them but its still giving the same error.

Oh sorry.  That error you're getting is the same one you'll get with 6.1.15, so I jumped to this conclusion.
 
In the VS Tools | Extensions and Updates window, can you double-check the "DevForce 2010 EDM Designer Extension" to see that it's enabled and also its version number?
 
What is the target framework for the model project?
 
Do you also have the DevForce 2012 EDM extension installed?

We are targeting .NET 4.0 version

It was working previously but all of a sudden it broke.

No I dont have the DevForce 2012 EDM extension installed as far as I can tell.

How do I regenerate the folder/files under the Extension folder if the dll is missing? Its a randomly generated folder name so I cant just add one to iu

Thanks

It's odd that the .dll went missing.  To restore it, first uninstall this extension from within the VS Tools | Extensions and Updates window.  To re-install it, in Windows Explorer go to the DevForce install folder and find 'IdeaBlade.VisualStudio.OM.Designer.11.0.vsix" and double-click it.  You'll need to re-open VS to see the newly installed extension.
