Visual Studio 2015 Add new data source wizard missing entity data model

I have installed Visual Studio 2015 & SQL Server 2014.

When I try to add an Entity Data Model in wizards window Choose a Database Model, I have only Dataset as a option.

So, I've tried next thing - right click on a project name:

-> add -> new item -> ADO.NET Entity Data Model
-> add -> (Choose Model Contents) EF Designer from database
-> New Connection -> (then choose server name, some existing database)
->Test Connection (everything went well) -> OK -> next -> (Choose Your Database Object and Settings) -> check Tables check box -> Finish

After all that, in VS2015 Solution Explorer I can see Model1.edmx (like in this link below) http://i59.tinypic.com/2rmtr0y.jpg

I don't know if it is OK, because "Data Sources" doesn't have anything in its area.

When I run Add New Data Source wizard, ->(Choose a Data Source Type) I choose Object->next->Under my Projects name does not exists anything except "Settings" - there is not "ajdViseMOdel" or something like that. (link:) http://i60.tinypic.com/2zf7606.jpg

How can I fix this?

OK, if I first add ADO.NET Entity Data Model like described in previous post, THEN ADD DATASET TO MY PROJECT, running

add new data source - object

now make sense. I don't know how and why, but now I can use entity data model and tables and views as object in my Visual Studio.
