Download and Install Connect for ADO.NET 4.2.

Download the attached compressed file which contains the scripts and tools required for this integration.

Open Developer Command Prompt for Visual Studio 2015, ( Ensure that it is “Run As Administrator” )
Run the batch file from the attachment as below:
For 32 bit System:
Install2015.cmd /codebase <Path of dll>

For 64 bit system
Install2015.cmd /regroot SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0 /codebase <Path of dll>

Where
<Path of dll> : Full path to the DDTek.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll
With the default installation folder settings this value would be "C:\Program Files\Progress\DataDirect\Connect_for_ADO.NET_42\DDTek.VisualStudio.DataTools.dll"
As the dll path has spaces in it, put quotes ("") when specifying the value.
