Introduction to ASP.NET MVC 5 tutorial and LocalDB

Question

I am going through this tutorial and I'm stuck on step 5 - Creating a Connection String and Working with SQL Server LocalDB. The error I get is:

There was an error running the selected code generator:

'Unable to retrieve metadata for 'MvcMovie.Models.Movie'. Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed.'

I have searched the internet for an answer for days. I have tried many solutions, but none have worked. I have checked and re-checked the code, I have Visual Studio Express 2013 for Web with update 1 on a Windows 7 64-bit PC. Can anyone help me figure this out using LocalDB and not another DB product?

Here is the web.config:

I have already answered some questions on the ASP.NET forum and posted screenshots so please read this over - Here

Answer 1

Sorry, it was an issue with one computer. I was able to do the same thing on another computer.

Answer 2

Please modify the Connection String as shown below:

<add name="MovieDbContext" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\Movies.mdf;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

You can check the following article for further reference:

Please check the Event Viewer details for your application. If the LocalDb is corrupted then run the following commands:
