Error adding MS SQL Server connection in Sharpdevelop Entity Framework wizard

Question

Trying to add a new connection for MS SQL Server in Sharpdevelop via the Entity Framework Wizard, and I get the following not very helpful error:

Does anyone have any clues as to exactly what it is that is not supported? The version number on its own is not very helpful.

I'm using Sharpdevelop 4.4.0.9722.

Answer 1

It means that SQL Server 2000 SP3a (version 8) is not supported, which is true for EF5 and newer. http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.dk/
