'Visual Studio cannot find the EntityModelCodeGenerator custom tool

I'm helping develop a MVC application in Visual Studio 2008 using the Entity Model Framework. I've gotten the code from the source control and I'm wanting to add some new Models from the edmx file. I right click and then click "Custom Tool" but then I get the following error.

Cannot find custom tool 'EntityModelCodeGenerator' on this system.

I have Visual Studio 2008, .NET 3.5 SP1, MVC 1.0.

What am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

In case you are using Visual Studio 2019:

Open the Visual Studio Installer by clicking menu Tools -> Get Tools and Features in Visual Studio
Click the tab Individual components and search for "entity",
Under the header SDKs, libraries, and frameworks you should see Entity Framework 6 tools
Click the checkbox and press the install button
