The Oracle website is a nightmare for documentation and cannot find any references on how to resolve this.</p>
  
  <p>I have an existing project which I am trying to upgrade to ODAC 12c and EF6 but I'm getting the following error which I am struggling to resolve:</p>

  <p>I created a fresh project to rule out any issues with my existing project and I get the same problem.  I believe it to be an issue with the app.config file edited automatically by the <a href="http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/72a60b14-1581-4b9b-89f2-846072eff19d" rel="noreferrer">Entity Framework Power Tools Beta 4</a> (Reverse Engineer Code First):</p>

  <p>Can anyone point me in the right direction?</p>
