Answer 1

I was battling with this kind of problem for almost 3 days, but I later found two solutions:

Command

1. Open an empty MVC Solution
2. Open your Package manager console
3. Type this command (Install-Package EntityFramework -Version 5.0.0 )

Default Framework

Select an internet application option of the ASP.NET MVC project template on Visual Studio 2012. By default Entity framework 5 came with it so there is no need to run your package manager console again.

Best of luck!
