Then click the Install button. Click Finish when the installation is complete.
The Tools installation (EFToolsSetup-x86.exe) is similar, but there are a couple of extra steps. At the
Welcome screen, click Next. Again, you??™ll need to select the I Agree option on the License Agreement
screen before you can continue. Click Next. The next step asks for the destination where you would like
to install the product. Accept the default or enter a destination path, and then click the Install button.
Once the installation is complete, you??™ll notice a new Start menu option called ADO.NET Entity Framework
Tools Preview. This new menu option includes several support documents along with a couple of
great ADO.NET Visual Studio example projects. Very nice.

an example. Fire up Visual Studio and create a new C# Windows forms project. Name the project
ProductSales and click OK.
