Don't see Entity Framework Template after Visual Studio 2010 install on Windows 7 64 bits

I just install Visual Studio 2010 on a 64 bit VM with Windows 7 64 bit. The VM is on an ESXi Hypervisor. When I tried to create my first project I don't see the Entity Framework template (ADO .NET Entity Framework). Am I missing a step here? Any and all help is appreciated.

I just had the very same problem. Actually, you have to check "SQL Server 2008 express" in Visual Studio installation, or Entity Framework won't be installed.
