I am trying to use Entity Framework 5 for my project but I seem to be having some issue getting the assembly installed to comply. And since I installed this initially using nuget, I am not certain what I need to do to cause this to work as I expect . Any help on what I need to do to fix this problem please?

*System.IO.FileNotFoundException : Could not load file or assembly EntityFramework, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=Neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of it's dependencies The System cannot find the file specified.WRN: Assembly binding logging is turned OFF. To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registy value . . . *

by using fusion log, i got this

*** Assembly Binder Log Entry  (7/17/2012 @ 9:29:09 PM) ***

The operation failed.
Bind result: hr = 0x80070002. The system cannot find the file specified.

I'm getting this problem too. So I did a bit of a look around and found the following.

In the "Common Problems" section of http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/jj618307.aspx it says...

"This typically means that you are running a .NET 4 application without the Redirect.config file. You need to copy the Redirect.config to the same location as migrate.exe and rename it to migrate.exe.config."

Unfortunately, I don't know where Redirect.config is located. The cannot find it anywhere in the NuGet package's directory contents.
