DotConnect does not show up as Data Provider

[Corne]

I've been using dotConnect for Oracle with visual studio 2015.
Recently I installed visual studio 2017. Unlike with visual studio 2015, which is also still installed, there are no items in the tools menu for dotConnect, and if I want to choose a data provider (tools -> connect to database) there is no "dotConnect for Oracle" available. Does anyone know how I can fix this?

1. Please confirm that you reinstalled dotConnect for Oracle after installing VS2017.

2. Navigate to VS2017 > Help > About, press the Copy Info button and specify this information here or via contact form.

1) I just reinstalled it again, just to be sure. Version is 9.1.131.0 (I can see that in the visual studio 2015 tools->oracle menu, and there is no such menu in visual studio 2017)

Version is 9.1.131.0 (I can see that in the visual studio 2015 tools->oracle menu, and there is no such menu in visual studio 2017)

Visual Studio 2017 is supported by dotConnect for Oracle starting from v9.3.230: https://www.devart.com/dotconnect/oracl ... story.html.

We recommend using the newest (9.5.483) build.
