Using SQL CE 3.5 in a framework 4.0 environment. Missing file msvcr80.dll-Collection of common programming errors

Hi, we have an application that use SQL CE 3.5, distributed to several desktop machines via clickonce. The application has the framework 4.0 as prerequisite. To redistribute SQL CE 3.5 we followed the instructions provided at this page : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa983326.aspx in the section “Private File–Based Deployment”.

On one client machine, with XP SP3, and only framework 1.1 and framework 4.0 installed, we got an error, because the dll “msvcr80.dll” required by “sqlceme35.dll” was not found.

I remark that .net framework 2.0 and 3.5 are NOT installed on that machine.

Is there any prerequisite that we can add in the Visual Studio project that contains msvcr80.dll and any other dll required by SQL CE 3.5?
