title: MySQL For Visual Studio 2012/2013
body: <p>I would like to create a EF model using a MySQL database.  I am running VS2012 and VS2013 on a 64 bit machine.  What do I need to install to get MySQL to show up in the Entity Data Model Wizard when it's time to add a new connection ?  I tried adding MySQL.Data.Entities Nuget package, but I still do not get the option in the wizard.  When searching for MySQL .NET Connector, I only find 32 bit downloads.  Please advise.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>

  <p>UPDATE:</p>
  
  <p>I ran the MySQL installer again and noticed the MySQL for Visual Studio was not installed.  I ran it again and get an error.  Here is the end of the install details: </p>
  
  <p>1: File: license-zlib-net.html,  Directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\MySQL\MySQL for Visual Studio 1.0.2\Documentation\Licenses for Third-Party Components\,  Size: 17171
  1: Action 6:09:56: ManagedDataInstall. Registering data provider in machine.config
  1: Action 6:09:56: Rollback. Rolling back action:

  1: Copying new files
  1: Creating folders

  1: Final actions.
  1: Install error</p>
  
  <p>I can paste the entire contents of the details, but was hoping there is enough information.  Does this offer any clues ?  It almost looked like the install was having trouble modifying the machine.config files, but I changed the security on these files by adding "Everyone" to have read and write permission (temporarily).  </p>
