This is the same solution that I was getting the error trying to save the .EDMX file.

I've just converted my Model project from Database First to Code-First.
Now I get the following error when I try to build the Model project:

Error    1    The "EntityModelMetadataDeploy" task failed unexpectedly.
System.ArgumentException: InvalidParameter

Any ideas?
In the meantime, I'm going to try re-creating the model project as Code-First from the start.
I'll post back when I have those results.

Recreating the model project in the current solution as Code-First from the start did not change anything.
Still get the build error.

I had to create a brand-new solution with only the model project in it.
I can build the model then.

This is going to make life rather difficult for us if we have to put our models into stand-alone solutions.

You should be able to unload the Install Shield project from your solution and then build the model project, without having to resort to an entirely separate solution for the model.
 
We'll have this fixed in the next release, coming within the next few weeks.
