Description:
When using Visual Studio to add an ADO.Net Entity Data Model for a MySQL database the wizard crashes without error message. This is a recurrent issue over time, see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39110060/entity-frameworks-entity-data-wizard-crashes-...

How to repeat:
1. Create a new class library project in VS 2017 Community.
2. Using Nuget Package Manager install the following packages:
   - EntityFramework 6.2.
   - MySql.Data v. 8.0.11
   - MySql.Data.EntityFramework v. 8.0.11
3. Clean, then rebuild solution.
4. Right click on the new project and select Add -> New Item...
5. Double-click on ADO.NET Entity Data Model, which accepts the default name Model1
6. Click EF Designer from database and click next.

Immediately after #6 the wizard disappears without any error message instead of prompting for the connection to use.

Suggested fix:
I thing the Nuget Packages for MySql need some work, but most importantly there should be some sort of log that will explain exactly what went wrong.

As per bug #89338 this will be fixed in the 6.10.x series in 6.10.7, but it's unclear if/when the fix will be incorporated in the 8.0.x series.
