    I have Visual Studio 2012 AND EF power tools beta 2. When I use Reverse Engineering Code First, no context class was generated. There is an exception in the output window with few details:

    System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
       at Microsoft.DbContextPackage.Extensions.ProjectExtensions.InstallPackage(Project project, String packageId)
       at Microsoft.DbContextPackage.Handlers.ReverseEngineerCodeFirstHandler.ReverseEngineerCodeFirst(Project project)

    If I choose Customized Reverse Engeening Templates and make some changes there, Reverse Engineering Code First still use the old template and ignore the changes I made.

    Thanks,

    This sounds like a bug in the power tool. Can you submit an issue here: http://entityframework.codeplex.com/WorkItem/Create

    It will get investigated further and fixed from that, if it is possible enough information to easily reproduce the issue would be nice. SQL to create a schema that causes the problem for example.
