After upgrading to Devforce 7.2, I get the following error whenever I save the .EDMX file (database first) for my model project.
Doesn't matter if I actually change anything on the .edmx or not.
Error 1 Running transformation: System.ArgumentException: The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))

Any idea what may be causing this?

When saving the EDMX and generating code, DevForce also looks for a candidate "link" client project. In the 7.2.0 release we started looking for a candidate Windows Store or Phone project, and it's this code which is causing the problem. What other project types do you have in your solution?

The solution started from the DevForce 2012 N-Tier template.
To that I've added a second WPF project, separate Model and Services class library projects.
I've also got an InstallShield Limited Edition setup project.
This is what is causing the problem.
If I remove the InstallShield project from the solution, I can save the EDMX without error.

Thanks for the additional information, John. We'll get this fixed in the next release. For now, as you've found, the workaround is to either temporarily remove or unload the project causing the problem. After saving the EDMX, the project can be added/loaded again.
