There is a workaround for this issue at this link: https://github.com/OData/lab/issues/64

The link mentions your specific problem. First install Microsoft WCF Toolkit.

Then go to the registry, find the following key:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\WOW6432Node\\Microsoft\\Microsoft WCF Data Services]

and rename "VS 2010 Tooling" to "VS 2014 Tooling"
