Entity Data Model Wizard not showing EF Designer - DLL Not found

I am following this tutorial to create .edmx file using a Database First Approach (using Add->NewItem-> ADO.NET Entity Data Model)

When I enter into the Entity Data Model Wizard, I don't see any option like EF Designer from database.

To resolve this, I installed EFTools from this link, but after installing it I see things working fine till the .edmx is generated. The following problem arose when i try to build the project.

Problem

After compiling/building, I see this error:

EntityFramework.dll could not be found
