title: No Entity Data Model (EDMX) Template with Visual Studio 2010 SP1 & ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.1
body: <p>I'm having a lot of issues with the templates of Visual Studio 2010 SP1 &amp; ADO.NET Entity Framework 4.1</p>
  
  <p>I noticed that other people had these problems, and asked similar questions, but I don't think they gave enough information to make it solve-able.</p>
  
  <p>The Problem: <strong>ADO.NET Entity Data Model Templates are not appearing whatsoever</strong></p>
