create new controller - error running selected code generator - asp.net-mvc

Question

I am using Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web (specifically version 12.0.21005.1 REL). This is my first project using VS2013, I've been using VS2012 up until this point.
I am attempting to create a new controller in my asp.net MVC application. I am using Entity Framework 5 with code first (.NET 4.5). I want Visual Studio to create the template for me (you know, a controller with views to read/write/delete etc, rather than write the code myself from scratch).
However, every time I try to create the controller I get the following error message:
Is there some sort of bug in VS 2013? I can't figure out what this means, and restarting VS2013 does not help.
Here are the gory details.... actually it is all very simple since this is a new project with very little code written so far.
My model:
namespace ProfessionalSite.Models
{
public class EntityModels
{
public class Student
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string FirstMidName { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Enrollment> Enrollments { get; set; }
}
public class Enrollment
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string EnrollmentName { get; set; }
public string Credits { get; set; }
}
// Create the class that inherits from DbContext
// The name of this class is also used as the connection string in web.config
public class EFDbContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }
public DbSet<Enrollment> Enrollments { get; set; }
}
}
}
And in my web.config file I have the following
<add name="EFDbContext"
connectionString="Data Source=JONSNA\SQLEXP2012WT;Initial Catalog=ProfessionalSiteDb; Integrated Security=True; MultipleActiveResultSets=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
within the tags.
Now time to create a controller. I right click on Controllers in the Solution Explorer, and choose to Add a new Controller.
And then
And when I click Add I get
I cant figure out how to get rid of this error. I guess as a workaround I can just type the code myself, but I'd like to know if this is a bug or something I have done wrong. In VS2012 this just worked...
I'd appreciate any help or pointers. Thanks.

You don't need the EntityModels class, See below:
namespace ProfessionalSite.Models
{
public class Student
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public string FirstMidName { get; set; }
public virtual ICollection<Enrollment> Enrollments { get; set; }
}
public class Enrollment
{
public int ID { get; set; }
public string EnrollmentName { get; set; }
public string Credits { get; set; }
}
// Create the class that inherits from DbContext
// The name of this class is also used as the connection string in web.config
public class EFDbContext : DbContext
{
public DbSet<Student> Students { get; set; }
public DbSet<Enrollment> Enrollments { get; set; }
}
}
Then when you create a controller, just select the Student or Enrollment for the Model class.
