Huh, new twist.
Yesterday I uninstalled just the 3.5 Framework (it was on the machine before VS 2008 SP1 RTM)
then reapplied the VS 2008 SP1. Now the ADO Entity Model Template shows up, after a reboot.
Got lucky I guess. Anyways thanks for the reference points. I've never stuck with or owned an O/RM,
they always seemed to mess with my thoughts then generate a whole bunch of code I'm too lazy to read
.....but the rest of the world seems to use them so I wanted to look at the next one.

Everything seems to be working fine.
I have opted not to use the Entity Framework now, as my project uses web services and the Framework makes things a bit heavy in
this regard, but I have created entity models and compiled fine.
Uninstall everything SP1 related and then start from the start. It worked for me.

Thanks for that, I have not knowingly installed any Beta packages but I do recall one general Hotfix
that was needed for improved intellisense in scripting blocks.
I fired off the Prep tool and got no response from it.
Your description of getting the Entity framework running sounds accurate. (Install from scratch)
I'm going to get the VS SP1 .iso today to hopefully speed up the process.

The tool is located at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a494b0e0-eb07-4ff1-a21c-a4663e456d9d&DisplayLang=en
It is non-destructive in the sense it only removes what it is set to remove. So, if you do not have any of the patches, there is
no reason you cannot run it.
I have more information on my blog:
http://gregorybeamer.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!B036196EAF9B34A8!805.entry
Here is what it does, per its patch screen:
-----------------------------------------
Uninstallation of Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Beta.
Uninstallation of Silverlight Tools Beta 1.
Uninstallation of KB944899 V1.
Uninstallation of KB949325.
You have KB944899 loaded. If it is V1, that is probably your failure point.
The only way I found to get the Entity Framework working once you have installed with a failure is to do the following:
1. Uninstall VS 2008 SP1
2. Uninstall .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
3. Reboot
4. Install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 - this step may not be necessary as VS 2008 SP1 does it, but I was not taking chances
5. Install VS 2008 SP1

The solution is to uninstall EVERYTHING and start over again. Despite not thinking I had one of the offending hotfixes or beta
software, I am now under the assumption I must have had one of them installed.
Visual Studio is now working great, or at least great in the features I currently need. :-)

Running against my database, I end up with code generated that has the
following:
[global::System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute(IsReference=true)]
which generates the error:
'System.Runtime.Serialization.DataContractAttribute' does not contain a
definition for 'IsReference'
It appears the System.Runtime.Serialization is not properly updated by
Visual Studio 2008 SP1, or at least not on Windows Server 2008 (my desktop
OS). Will try to go through and create exact repro steps.
History:
1. Installed Visual Studio SP1
Did not install .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 first, as assumed this would be
part of VS SP1
2. Installed SQL Server 2008 Developer
3. Rebooted numerous times
(per
http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3586027&SiteID=1&pageid=0)
4. Repair installed .NET Framework 3.5 SP1
Still running the issue after repair reinstall ... and rebooting. Attempted stealing the assemblies from the temp folder, but
I am not sure which msp to run to get them. Going to attempt a VS 2008 SP1 repair install, as well. And then punt until I can
afford time to completely rebuild the machine, as that is ... unfortunately ... generally the best option when an MS SP
fails.
Any other ideas?
