RC2: "Unable to find provider assembly with name EntityFramework.MicrosoftSqlServer" error

[tdjastrzebski]

An attempt to scaffold database as described here:
https://docs.efproject.net/en/latest/platforms/full-dotnet/existing-db.html
results in error:
"Unable to find provider assembly with name EntityFramework.MicrosoftSqlServer. Ensure the specified name is correct and is referenced by the project."
All three required packages have been successfully installed. It worked for RC1

Your scaffold command has a provider package name in it, you need to swap to the RC2 provider name - which is Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer (the error suggests you are still specifying the RC1 package name of EntityFramework.MicrosoftSqlServer).

That's the error you would see if you executed Scaffold-DbContext "Server=(localdb)\mssqllocaldb;Database=Blogging;Trusted_Connection=True;" EntityFramework.MicrosoftSqlServer.

For RC2 you need to do Scaffold-DbContext "Server=(localdb)\mssqllocaldb;Database=Blogging;Trusted_Connection=True;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer. Note the change to the provider name.

I have a WPF 4.61 app using EF6. When I try to follow this article and scaffold in my repository project, I get this error:

PM> Scaffold-DbContext "Server=(localdb)\mssqllocaldb;Database=MyDB;Trusted_Connection=True;" Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer

Unable to find provider assembly with name Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.SqlServer. Ensure the specified name is correct and is referenced by the project.

I removed EF6 and commented out syntax errors to get it to build. And yes, the csproj has this line:
true
I was able to convert a separate console app from EF6 to EF Core 2.0.
