Can't create SQL tables from Visual Studio 2017RC

I'm trying to work with a database at my university using the Visual Studio 2017 RC version. I haven't installed any SQL Server version on this (new) computer. I can connect to the database instance and see the default folders (Tables, Stored procedures, and so on), but when I click Add new table... I get the error "Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation".

Is this because I haven't installed SQL Server on my computer? As I recall it, I needed to do so with old versions of SQL Server, but I am not sure now. I think we use SQL Server 2014 at the university, at least we have the 2014 version of SSMS.

What would be the easiest way to fix this? I only need very basic functionality, such as add and fill tables and write stored procedures.

By the way, if I install a more recent version of SQL Server on my computer, will I be able to connect to the university's older version? (The reason why I ask is that this was not possible some years ago.)

Thanks!

Petter

The answer to this question can be viewed in the comments. There appear to be a bug in Visual Studio 2017 RC that doesn't let the user see or edit tables etc in SQL Server.

(This question can be closed - hopefully it is of use to anyone having the same problem.)
