I have difficulties connecting DB2 version 7.5 to Visual Studio 2019. Is there any way to connect this version of the database to Visual Studio 2019 using some newer version of IBM DB2 Add-ins? Or was there some other way?

I've installed the followings
PowerBI desktop
PostgreSQL
Npgsql v4.1.1 (from https://github.com/npgsql/Npgsql/releases)
Visual Studio 2019 (community)
Even after installing all the above, still I am getting
This connector requires one or more additional components to be installed before it can be used.
Is there anything else, I've to install?
I've re-installed the Visual Studio 2019 and it works.
I've read numerous articles and posts here about getting Entity Framework to work with DB2 but all of them reference prior versions of Visual Studio. When I repeat the steps outlined (too many to remember at this point), I still do not have DB2 in the data providers list.
Has anyone gotten this to work in VS17 and, if so, can you walk me through what you did?
For registering IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio 17, Visual Studio 2015 or earlier supported versions needs to be installed on the machine.
Steps:
Download and install IBM Data Server Driver Package
Download and install IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio.
After successful installation of IBM Database Add-Ins, choose Start -> IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio ->Register IBM Database Add-Ins.
This link has listed the steps needed for the add-in installation

Note: Make sure to download same version and fix pack of DS Driver and VS IBM Database Add-In. I downloaded v11.1.3fp3 version for both installations and it's working for me.
Trying to install PowerShell Tools for Visual Studio on Windows Server 2012 I get an error:
Signaturedescription cannot be created...
Is SQL Server Data Tools Visual Studio different from Power Shell Visual Studio in this regard? I have installed and using SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Studio 2013 successfully. Can I use the same SSDT VS 2013 for PowerShell too?
Where is SQL Server CE 4.0 data provider for Visual studio?
I want to use SQL Server CE 4.0 with Entity Framework. I have installed all packages but it's missed in list of available providers for EF?
Is it supposed to be so, or I miss something?
Probably need the SQL Server Compact 4 tools installed as well, if it did not install directly when Visual Studio 2010 SP1 was installed, you can install it. I had to do this myself.
I have a number of dtsx projects created under Visual Studio 2005.
When I try to convert the solution to 2008 it converts fine but then the .dtproj file can't be loaded:
myProj.dtproj' cannot be opened because its project type (.dtproj) is not supported by this version of the application.
I have SQL Server 2005 installed but I got rid of Visual Studio 2005 as I am moving all my projects to Visual Studio 2008.
Reinstall the shell for BIDS. You can't use VS 2008 with SQL Server 2005 dtsx.
