Provider: System.Data.SqlServerCe.3.5 is not installed

Jan 26, 2011 See the question and my original answer on StackOverflow

You need Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5, see here for download links: http://www.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2005/en/us/compact.aspx

Usually, this database just works with x-copy deployment, so once you've installed it on your dev machine, you can just copy it over your work environment directory.
