Brand new project and entity framework will not start due to the exception being thrown as soon as the context instance is created.
Entity framework throws the following exception:
Could not load type 'System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.TableExistenceChecker' from assembly 'EntityFramework, Version=6.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.
References:

- EntityFramework.SqLServer
Via the nuget package manager:
Install-Package entityframework
Very simple context and entity:
public class TextDbContext : DbContext
{
public TextDbContext()
: base("Test")
{
}
public DbSet<TestEntity> TestEntity { get; set; }
}
public class TestEntity
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var test = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Test"].ConnectionString;
using (var conn = new SqlConnection(test))
{
conn.Open();
var cmd = new SqlCommand("Select * from testtable", conn);
var result = cmd.ExecuteReader();
}
//exception thrown on this line is the same as the one in the context
var instance = SqlProviderServices.Instance;
using (var db = new TextDbContext())
{
var item = new TestEntity
{
Name = "xyz"
};
db.TestEntity.Add(item);
db.SaveChanges();
}
}
