EF Power Tools Beta 2 and Visual Studio 2012 Express - entity-framework

I can't seem to get EF Power Tools to install with VS2012 Express for Web. Is it only compatible with Standard or Ultimate Editions of VS?

Yes it is not compatible with Express edition because Express editions don't allow installing plugins.

Version Control Best Practices for Supporting/Required Software

I have a small C# project developed by someone on our team who left. I'm getting it into version control. The application requires the following:
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.6.2
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable – 10.0.30319
MySQL Community Server 5.6.36
My question is, is it a good idea to drop the install files for this supporting software into version control (I'm using GitLab)? Or is there some better way of managing supporting/required software?
Thanks

Visual Studio 2012 Express with Entity Framework menu

I installed VS 2012 beta version and then installed Entity framework following this tutorial and it worked fine.
VS 2012 beta expired so i got VS 2012 Express. I tried to follow the same tutorial but now i don't have "Entity Framework Reverse Engineer Code First" in right-click project menu.
Is it a limitation in Visual Studio 2012 Express?
EF Power Tools are not available on Express SKU - you need at least Pro version. See this thread for more detailed answer: How to install EFPowerTool Beta on the right version of VS on my PC

Unable to install Visual Web Developer 2008 Express Edition

I got a problem to install the visual web developer 2008 express edition. When I starting to install this application it start installing with visual c++ runtime prerequisites it process a minute or two after that it shows an error The folowing component could not be downloaded visual c++ runtime prerequisites I read an article regarding this at http://forums.asp.net/t/1487605.aspx
It says completely remove vwd 2005 before installing vwd 2008. I did it but it display same error I have net connection also. Where I am wrong to install the application. Please suggest to overcome this problem. Thanks
I would try installing it through Web Platform Installer. If 2008 isn't available anymore, just install 2010, which is fully backward compatible to .Net 3.5

Where is SQL Server CE 4.0 data provider for Visual Studio?

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.
