Visual Studio cannot find the EntityModelCodeGenerator custom tool

Question

Hello all,

I'm helping develop a MVC application in Visual Studio 2008 using the Entity Model Framework. I've gotten the code from the source control and I'm wanting to add some new Models from the edmx file. I right click and then click "Custom Tool" but then I get the following error.

Cannot find custom tool 'EntityModelCodeGenerator' on this system.

I have Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5 SP1, MVC 1.0.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.
