Hello,
I use two instances of Visual Studio 2017 side by side (RTM and preview) But when I install dotConnect for Oracle it register only with one instance and in the second instance I cannot open edml in VS and in build custom build tool for creating EF resources is not run.
How I can register all dotConnect tools in both VS instances?
Thanks

OK, but after I Install last dotConnect 9.5.399 all tools was "unregister" from VS and "register" to Preview instance. Is there a way how to switch back to RTM?
Thanks

dotConnect for Oracle uses API of VS2017 Installer. Most likely VS2017 Installer itself doesn't detect one of your VS2017 instances.
Please tell us:
1) the exact versions and editions of both your VS instances (via Help > About menu)
2) run dotConnect for Oracle installer, there should be the list of VS instances detected on your workstation on the Select Components step, specify all of them

1. This instance is "15.6 Preview 1", isn't it?
2. Specify editions of both your VS2017 instances.

Please run your Visual Studio Installer (by default, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\Installer\vs_installer.exe"), specify the exact names and versions of VS instances listed in the Installed section.

A current provider implementation picks up only the highest version of VS2017 instances of the same edition installed. We will investigate the possibility of improving our installer to detect all VS2017 of the same edition.
As a current workaround, please remove VS2017 Preview 15.6 and reinstall the provider.
