I tried to run the command 'Enable-Migrations' in a new project and I got the message:

PM> Enable-Migrations
The term 'Enable-Migrations' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verif
y that the path is correct and try again.
At line:1 char:18
+ Enable-Migrations <<<< 
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Enable-Migrations:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

But in all other projects the command runs just fine.

Why is this happening?

BTW, I'm using VS2010 Professional SP1

EDIT: I reinstalled with the commmand: Install-Package EntityFramework -IncludePrerelease and the problem went away.
