Older .NET configurations detected correctly

The ADO.NET driver integration could not be used in Visual Studio because Visual Studio was unable to locate the correct driver to use. The following error could be seen: "Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed."

A duplicate entry in machine.config caused the .NET framework to be unable to identify the correct driver to use with Ctree.VisualStudio.Data. Although FairComConfig has logic to find duplicate entries in machine.config, a change in the display name of the driver between V11 and V12 meant it was unable to locate V11 installations.

FairComConfig has been modified to use a different attribute to locate earlier installations: The invariant driver name (ctree.data.sqlclient) is not expected to change among versions.
