NOTICE: A bug report without sufficient technical and repro details and version information WILL BE CLOSED WITHOUT ANY FURTHER ACTION.

Provide steps to reproduce a bug

Right click on project
Go to EF Core Power Tools -> Reverse Engineer
In my case the drop down on the left is empty
Click add
Select Add Database Connection
An error popup will immediately appear with the text 'Failed to find or load the registered .NET Framework Data Provider.

I am almost certain that the problem is on my end, but I could not find anything while searching on the web that really applied. I can successfully run the scaffolding commands manually, but that does not do everything I want it to do, and your tool does.

Please include a complete description of the issue or link to a project that I can run to reproduce the issue.

I am trying to reverse engineer a SQL Server database for a new .NET 8 application.

Could be a bad Server Explorer connection. Remove it.
