Including the dll’s with your deployment is sufficient.

You have to install SQLServer Express as a prerequisite to use that file.

I am quite new to this, but i am working on a small application wich works with sql compact 3.5. Now i`m trying to implement my application on a desktop which has no SQL server running.

So my question is, do i have to install sql server for this to work? Or can it work without sql server installed on the target machine ?

i hope you can help me out.

Thnx in advance!

I got an error message when my application tried to connect to the .sdf file stating “Cannot find the database file”. Turning on the “Copy Local” for the reference of System.Data.SqlServerCe solved the issue!

Thanks!
