I have several computers that I manage where I can produce and edmx file from a 
firebird database without problem. However, my main development computer isn't 
working as it should. I can start a project in VS, then add new item, data, 
entity data framework. The firebird connection capability is present and I can 
point to  a database, then I am show the database objects. I selected the 
tables, then next button. But what is produced is basically an empty edmx file, 
it has the different sections but no data about the database.

I have tried to set this Windows 7 machine up like one of the machines that is 
working using three configuration items:

1)  gac entry:
 FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=3750abcc3150b00c, processorArchitecture=MSIL

2)Framework machine.config entry:
  <system.data>
    <DbProviderFactories>
       <add name="FirebirdClient Data Provider" 
invariant="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient" description=".NET Framework Data 
Provider for Firebird" 
type="FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient.FirebirdClientFactory, 
FirebirdSql.Data.FirebirdClient, Version=4.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, 
PublicKeyToken=3750abcc3150b00c"/></DbProviderFactories>
  </system.data>

3) Registry data
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\DataProviders\{92421248-F044-483A-8237-74C7FBC62971}
 and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\DataSources\{2979569E-416D-4DD8-B06B-EBCB70DE7A4E}
 match on both computers.

Can anyone suggest a way to track this down? I got so frustrated that I rebuilt 
the dev machine and set it up as described above, but to no avail. Is there a 
package missing in my VS2010?
