Namespace name 'SqlServer' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Data.Entity

Question

When trying to add the hack listed in this question: Entity Framework Provider type could not be loaded? at this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19130718/261405 , I kept getting this error: Namespace name 'SqlServer' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Data.Entity

Noticed this got a downvote. Maybe that's because it's not phrased as a question? I posted this as an "Answer your own question" because I wasted two hours trying to figure it out, and hoped to help someone else, and it wasn't a question at that point. — Adrian Carr

I was able to get the error to go away after updating my projects from Entity Framework 6.0.2 to 6.1.0.

Basically did this for all projects:

PM> Install-Package EntityFramework

And it started magically working. I hope this helps someone else avoid the frustration that I had.
