Entity Framework power tools pre generating view - error - asp.net-mvc

I am using entity framework power tools 4 (beta). My project uses asp.net identity and EF 6.1.2. I have updated all the entity framework dlls via nuget. When I attempt to pre generate a view with EF Powertools for my dbcontext i receive the error :
Could not load type 'System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations.Schema.IndexAttribute' from assembly 'EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.
I have updated my EF to 6.1.2 so it is the latest.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and solved it. I've seen people on the EF Powertools site posting similar issues to this but there's no solution I can find.
Thanks
UPDATE : - I have reinstalled all the packages with no luck. I have even gone as far as giving the solution to someone else to install on their pc - and they can run it and generate the views using power tools without the error. So it's probably something to do with my environment. Any ideas what to try changing ?

The IndexAttribute is a new feature that is added in Entity Framework 6.1.
You say that you have updated to 6.1, but the error suggests that you have a reference to version 6.0.
Can you remove all references to EF and System.Data.Entity and then try to install it again with Nuget?

The reason is that Power tools use the IDE version of EntityFramework and not the referenced. Please check my solution EntityFramwork Power Tools error while generating views

AspNetZero - .NET Core 2.0 MVC Version - Error on adding new controller

After about 6 months, I returned to work on my AspNetZero solution based on .NET Core 2.0.
I have the original downloaded version and the modified version as separate GIT repositories. In both versions/repositories when I try to add a new MVC controller, I keep getting the below error message.
On my PC I have all of the .NET Core SDKs installed from 1.0 right up to 2.1.302. I have other projects that I am working on, where I'm using .NET Core 2.1.
I even created a brand new .NET Core 2.0 project in VS2017 and I am able to scaffold a new MVC controller without any errors. This issue is only happening on the AspNetZero solution.
I have done many searches for a solution and none of the answers I found online have worked. I just added a global.json file into my solution folder and set the SDK to 2.0.0 and tried again, still does not work. I keep getting the same error!
Your NuGet packages may have been invalid according to your
target framework. Check all your recent NuGet packages for .NET Core
versions.
Clear your NuGet cache as shown in the picture
Update: Delete all bin & obj folders.

Visual Studio 2012 can't resolve namespace even though DLL reference seems fine

I have attempted to create an MVC 5 project by creating an MVC 4 project in Visual Studio 2012 and installing MVC 5 through Nuget.
I can build this fine.
I attempt to add a reference to another DLL, Sitecore.Mvc.DLL, which I can see was built against MVC 5.1.0. The DLL reference is added fine, and there seems to be no .NET framework conflict (which is where I've seen this issue in the past).
I'm trying to add a using statement to my code:-
using Sitecore.Mvc.Presentation;
IntelliSense picks this up fine....even allowing me to auto-complete 'Presentation'.
However when I build I get the following error:-
The type or namespace name 'Sitecore' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
What could be the issue here?
I'm using:-
Visual Studio 2012 - Update 4
MVC 4 Web Application (initially)
MVC 5.1.0 Nuget Package
Sitecore 7.2 - Update 2 (where Sitecore.Mvc.DLL comes from)
.NET 4.5.2 installed on my machine.
Turns out I'm using a different version of Sitecore.Mvc.DLL, which IS targeted to .NET 4.5.1. Seems like the mscorelib reference in Reflector doesn't quite tell all the details.
Now I need to target my Web App to .NET 4.5.1, which means I need to follow the steps here to be able to select it.

Missing reference to System.Web.Mvc in Asp.net Unit Test?

I recently made some unit tests for my Asp.NET MVC application, or I tried to, it keep telling me "The type 'System.Web.Mvc.Controller' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=5.1.0.0, Culture=neutral.' Then I tried to add a reference to the above mentioned, but was only able to choose version 4.0.0.0 and now it tells me that my project already uses version 5.1.0.0, which is a higher version. What to do?
Thanks a bunch!
MVC 5 comes in from a NuGet package. Just as it did with the main MVC web project in your solution. Install MVC via NuGet into your Test project, and you should be good to go.
An educated guess, but you might have obtained the newer version via a nuget package(some of the newer MVC project templates do this), and thus it is not installed in GAC. Use the nuget package manager for the MVC project to determine if this is the case, and if so then mystery solved.
In the test project you can add the same package, or use the addreference->Browse to browse into the nuget dependencies and poke around under the MVC project till you find the DLL(it will be in the file system somewhere under SolutionName/MvcProjectName/packages).

Bad day fixing references in mvc 5.1 app

I have a problem with visual studio and nuget package manger
I was running very good when suddenly the project stopped to compile telling me that the ApplicationDbContext should derive from DbContext or something like that, i couldn't see the problem so i cleaned my solution rebuilt the project it compiled but had stupid runtime erros so I searched stackoverflow and the web And I found out it was a reference error in the first place so I removed the bin folder as described here in this question
higher version than the referenced assembly
then it went all bad i tried to remove all the references and re-install them manually but nuget PMC kept telling me that my project already had a reference to that assembly,, I closed Visual Studio re-cleaned the project and done that once again with no results!
so the question here would be how to re-install the latest version of everything to be compatible with asp.net MVC 5.1 without getting a message telling me that my project has a reference to those assemblies nonsense !
I had this happen to every one of my projects I upgraded to MVC 5.1. I had to add binding-redirects to my web.config. With the Package Manager Console it was easy.

CA0055 on System.Web.MVC?

I've just migrated my ASP.NET MVC 3 application from windows 7 /VS2010 to Windows 8 / Visual Studio 2012. I'm getting a weird Code Analysis error.
CA0055 Error Running Code Analysis CA0055 : Could not load MyAssembly.dll. The following error was encountered while reading module 'System.Web.Mvc': Could not resolve type reference: [System.Web.Razor, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35]System.Web.Razor.Parser.SyntaxTree.CodeSpan. [Errors and Warnings] (Global)
Adding a reference to System.Web.Razor did not help. Work-around for now is to disable code analysis for the web project. Does anyone know why this error occurs and/or how to fix it?
My guess is that MyAssembly.dll references another System.Web.Razor version compared with the one you have in your project.
Can also be different .Net frameworks in different projects.
