I have an app using SQL Server Compact Edition. So I need the runtime to be on all the machines. I've been looking for the merge modules for the runtime however I've had no luck there.

Is there a way to bring the runtime into the app itself? And in so doing not not requiring the user to install the runtime?

Or is there a way of extracting the modules from the msi and loading them into my installer?

I am using Visual Studio 2012. And playing around with a few installer creators like Create install free. As a side, does anyone have a good freeware installer creator?

Any help would be great,

many thanks in advance

You can include the SQL Server Compact DLL files with your app, so you do not need to install anything in addition to your app - see my blog for long, detailed description - which SQL Server Compact version do you use?
