title: Does IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio support VS2019?
body: <p>After scouting numerous articles and stack overflow for hours it seems that the IBM Database Add-Ins are not supported for Visual Studio 2019. Do correct me if I'm wrong.</p>
  
  <p>Reasons for installing the Add Ins was to create entity classes in asp.net using web forms.</p>
  
  <p>IBM Database Version : DB2 LUW 10.5</p>
  
  <p>Reasons for the conclusions: </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li><p>Installed the same fix packs for the  IBM Data Server Driver Package as well as IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio (Fix Pack 11) <a href="https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/3501195" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/3501195</a></p></li>
  <li><p>Log Error Message : <strong>MSI (c) (98:58) [17:45:41:129]: Windows Installer installed the product. Product Name: IBM Database Add-Ins for Visual Studio, Product Version: 10.5.1100.2866, Product Language: 1041, Manufacturer: Company Name, Installation Success or Error Status: 1603</strong></p></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>If the add in does not support Visual Studio 2019 , what would be the best replacement for Entity Framework 6.0 in order to use with IBM Db2? 
  If the add in does support Visual Studio 2019 is there a workaround to the following problem?</p>
