Entity Data Model Wizard not showing Oracle's Data Provider in New Conn

709788Jun 10 2011 — edited Jun 13 2011
Not sure where the problem lies - with Visual Studio or with Oracle or with me.
I have Visual Studio 2010 and Oracle Client installed on a 64 bit Windows 7 machine. In the Server Explorer, I can add a new connection using ODP.NET data provider, and test it successfully. I can also use the query window to run commands using that connection. The problem occurs when I try to add ADO.NET Entity Data Model using (right-click) Add New Item to the solution. Entity Data Model Wizard opens and I choose Generate from database. The next page does NOT show the connection to Oracle that I added from Server Explorer. If I try to add a new connection from this window, Oracle is not an option in Choose a DataSource window. If I select Other, then ODP.NET does not appear in the dropdown for Data Provider. What do I need to do to get the Oracle connection and/or ODP.NET provider to show up in the EDM Wizard? Here is the VS 2010 configuration on my machine:
