Open Package Manager Console and try to install EF.

Toos > Nuget Package Manager > Package Manager Console

Run

PM> install-package entityframework -version 5.0.0.0

Or you can update it to latest version(version 6.1.2) using below command

PM> Update-Package entityframework

I had similar problem. My project's had EF version 6.0, I tried made scaffolding MVC with ef 5.0 and razor views and received this error. I made stop IIS for this web site, clear solution, rebuild solution, fix error, rebuild solution successfuly. Then a try again (make mvc ef scaffolding) and my problem resolved
