    Visual Studio 2008 installs three SQL Server Compact 3.5 Microsoft Windows Installer (.msi) files as described below.

    • SQL Server Compact 3.5 Design Tools (SSCEVSTools-ENU.msi): This file installs the SQL Server Compact 3.5 design-time components with Visual Studio 2008. The design-time components are the user interface, dialog boxes, and design-time environment, which are used to write applications for SQL Server Compact 3.5. The SQL Server Compact 3.5 design-time components will be installed under the directory: %Program Files%\Microsoft Visual Studio 9\Common7\IDE\. These components are tied to Visual Studio and cannot be shipped independently of Visual Studio. SQL Server Compact 3.5 header files (for native development) are also installed by this .msi file.
    • SQL Server Compact 3.5 (SSCERuntime-ENU.msi): This file installs the SQL Server Compact 3.5 runtime components for desktop computers and Tablet PCs in a central folder: %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5. The SQL Server Compact 3.5 desktop and Tablet PC computers’ runtime components are required for developing applications in Visual Studio and for running SQL Server Compact 3.5-based applications on the desktop. This .msi file also installs Microsoft Synchronization Services for ADO.NET components. The Synchronization Services for ADO.NET components are installed at %Program Files%\Microsoft Synchronization Services\ADO.NET\v1.0.
    • SQL Server Compact 3.5 for Devices (SSCEDeviceRuntime-ENU.msi): This file installs the SQL Server Compact 3.5 devices runtime components in %Program Files%\Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition\v3.5\Devices.
